Multiplayer games based on the Source Engine use a Client-Server networking architecture. Usually a server is a dedicated host that runs the game and is authoritative about world simulation, game rules, and player input processing. A client is a player's computer connected to a game server.
I was wondering how the Half-Life 2 multiplayer protocol works in mods like Counter-Strike: Source or Day Of Defeat: Source. I believe that they use some kind of obfuscation and proprietary compression algorithm. I would like to know how different kinds of messages are encoded in a packet.
