Wiimmfi/Connection Status

The Connection Status is a special feature of Wiimmfi. Server SV collects data from GPCM, MS, MASTER and NATNEG and creates 5 bit fields for each room member:
- LOCAL
- A bit is set, if 2 players have the same public IPv4. In this case, both clients use the same LAN and NATNEG is usually not needed. The bits are always set for both peers.
- CONNECT2
- A bit is set, if connection was accepted by the host. In this case the hosts sends a "GPCM STATUS type-02" message using server GPCM or MS as delivery agent. The bits are always set for both peers.
- NN_CONNECT
- The NATNEG server sent a CONNECT message (NATNEG connection finished) to both clients. The bits are always set for both peers.
- NN_ACK
- The NATNEG server received a CONNECT_ACK message of a client.
- NN_SUCCESS
- The NATNEG server received a REPORT message of a client with status SUCCESS. If the status is FAIL, then the related bits in NN_CONNECT and NN_ACK are cleared.
The slot index is used for the bit number. If for example players at slot 2 and 5 did NN_CONNECT, then bit 5 for player 2 and bit 2 for player 5 are set.
Server SV and mkw-ana print a summary as character vector. The following table shows the character and color selection, highest priority first:
char | color | Description |
---|---|---|
\ | gray | Self reference nad mirror line. All other bits are ignored. |
▲ | cyan | NN_SUCCESS and CONNECT2 are set. LOCAL is ignored. |
▪ | cyan | NN_SUCCESS set, but not CONNECT2. LOCAL is ignored. |
A | yellow | NN_ACK and CONNECT2 are set. LOCAL is ignored. |
a | yellow | NN_ACK set, but not CONNECT. LOCAL is ignored. |
C | yellow | NN_CONNECT and CONNECT2 are set, but not NN_ACK. LOCAL is ignored. |
c | yellow | NN_CONNECT set, but neither NN_ACK nor CONNECT2. LOCAL is ignored. |
L | blue | LOCAL and CONNECT2 set, but not any NATNEG flag. |
l | blue | LOCAL set, but neither CONNECT nor any NATNEG flag. |
2 | magenta | CONNECT2 set, but neither LOCAL nor any NATNEG flag. |
× | red | All bits are cleared. |
