 The most important packet is the first one sent, the {{{hello}}} packet, since it contains "capabilities" which determines what packets and features are supported by the other end. In a lot of cases, a client or server which does not implement all the features ''should'' disable the capability rather than ignoring the corresponding packets.

+By default, the packet type is normally a string, as shown in the tables below. As of v0.9.0 the clients and server can also exchange a list of {{{aliases}}} in the {{{hello}}} packet so that each string can be replaced with a smaller identifier instead.
