ControlAck confirms that a control session is ready. The server sends it once, immediately after an accepted HandshakeResult on a connection with role 4. The packet has no body.

Layout[edit | edit source]

Field Type Description
packetId u8 Always 8.

Usage[edit | edit source]

Requests may be sent as soon as the handshake is accepted, but waiting for ControlAck before showing the session as connected is a simple way to be sure the server has set it up. A Banner may follow immediately.
