Hi Guy

I've tried to be as prompt and as accurate as possible so here is the draft, I hope you'll appreciate the effort. I agree that the initial thing I sent was an abomination. I will work on this draft as the project progresses, but for now, it covers
everything implemented so far.

Like I sad, I don't have the complete documentation ready,
When you have the complete documentation ready, let us know.

but this is the general format:

+---------------------------------+
|           Version               |
|           (1 Octet)             |
|                                 |
+---------------------------------+
|           PDU Type              |
|           (1 Octet)             |
|                                 |
What are the PDU type values?

+---------------------------------+
|       Source ELLE Node          |
|  NULL terminated ASCII string   |
|       (1 Octet min for \0)      |
So that's pure ASCII, without, for example, any letters with diacritical marks, so it doesn't need full UTF-8?

|                                 |
+---------------------------------+
|       Destination ELEE Node     |
|  NULL terminated ASCII string   |
|       (1 Octet min for \0)      |
And the same applies there?

|                                 |
+---------------------------------+
|       ELEE PDU Payload          |
.      (Remaining octets)         .
.                                 .
.                                 .

PDU Payload part is the rest of the packet data
and will be interpreted based on PDU Type.
Presumably the formats of the PDU payloads will be described in the complete documentation.
