**Disclaimer:** These docs are WIP and going to receive a lot of improvement.

A decrypted and deserialized packet looks like this: A decrypted and deserialized payload contains either a response or a request.
A request looks as follows:

A response looks like this:

**Every request packet, that is sent over the socket, has to get a linked response packet.**
### IDs
Packet IDs are expected to be an incremental counter.
There is no difference between requests and responses originating from the same socket side when it comes to IDs.
So both - requests and responses - should share the same counter.
