The Pia packet handlers are only active when the game is using multiplayer. LanProtocol is only active in the games which are actively using the LAN-mode option (not Ldn) - only certain games support LAN-mode. The LanProtocol Pia packet handler can be reached while in a lobby or searching for one.

Most ~~(?) non-LAN~~ packets require an active StationProtocol connection to be active with {InetAddr which the packet was received from}, otherwise the packet is filtered out.

Most Pia packets require an active StationProtocol connection to be active with {InetAddr which the packet was received from}, otherwise the packet is filtered out. The only protocols which don't use filtering are the following: NatTraversalProtocol, LanProtocol, StationProtocol, LocalProtocol.

Note that broadcast IP-dest Pia packets are accepted - this can be used to target every device on the network which is using Pia (which is really only useful with ~~LanProtocol~~ due to the filtering mentioned above, unless one also handles StationProtocol).

Note that broadcast IP-dest Pia packets are accepted - this can be used to target every device on the network which is using Pia (which is really only useful with {above protocols} due to the filtering mentioned above, unless one also handles StationProtocol).
