References and progress

Here are the specs I'm interested in exploring, along with their current implementation statuses:

• BEP 3: The BitTorrent Protocol Specification
  • bencoding
    • parse Integer
    • parse String
    • parse List
    • parse Dictionary
  • metainfo/.torrent implementation
    • Unmarshal to Go struct
    • Marshal from Go struct
  • Tracker requests, response parsing
  • Peer protocol
    • parse peer messages
    • handle downloads
    • actually send/receive stuff
• BEP 4: Assigned Numbers
  • We'll want these as enums
• BEP 5: DHT Protocol
  • Finding stuff
• BEP 20: Peer ID Conventions
  • Identifying ourselves
• BEP 23: Tracker Returns Compact Peer Lists
  • Trackers gets to decide which format to return, so gotta do this. (Done.)
• BEP 29: uTorrent transport protocol (uTP)
  • ...maybe.
• BEP 55: Holepunch extension
  • Getting past NAT
