The protocol is based on negative acknowledge (NACK) only sent
when a receiver sees a gap in the sequence numbers of a packet
stream (from a sender).
If packets are received in sequence, no acknowledge is sent; the
packets are consumed silently. If a receiver detects that one or
more packets are missing, it starts to send NACK packets directly
to the sender. The sender then tries to fullfill the requests from
his packet backlog.
After sending a data (aka non-protocol) packet, heartbeat packets
are sent. The heartbeat packets do not contain any data, they carry
only the last used sequence no. of this sender. The rate the
heartbeat packets are sent is variable, meaning that the time
between heartbeats will increase over time. This allows for fast
synchronisation after new packets have been sent and at the same
time reduces overall traffic.

registered via add_action:
