All Zandronum servers use '''UDP''' as their network protocol.
All Zandronum servers use '''UDP''' as their network protocol.
Additionally, all traffic is compressed using the Huffman algorithm to save bandwidth. Therefore, you'll need [https://wiki.zandronum.com/files/huffman.zip a copy of huffman.cpp or huffman.java] to encode and decode your traffic appropriately.
Additionally, all traffic is compressed using the Huffman algorithm to save bandwidth. Refer to code in [https://osdn.net/projects/zandronum/scm/hg/zandronum-stable/tree/tip/src/huffman/ src/huffman] for a standalone implementation of the Huffman encoding needed to encode/decode traffic.


There is also an implementation of the Huffman codec written in Python [https://bitbucket.org/alexmax2742/pyskull/src/fd5bf1ec8987ccb28a0861db965a087d561c0997/pyskull/huffman.py?at=default here].
