Description
This indicates an attempt to use the Gnutella protocol.Gnutella is a peer-to-peer (p2p) file-sharing protocol. It is the first decentralized p2p network, which led to other networks adopting a similar model. The client software must bootstrap to another node to obtain information about more nodes. Once the client is connected to a node, it will be able to get more nodes and download files.
