Thanks for this info.

Netcat is a really underappreciated tool. I can't count how many times I've unnecessarily written utilities to send stuff on UDP sockets, forgetting that nc can do it.

Yep, this command protocol allows us to do tricks like this which is
quite helpful for debugging. Unfortunately this particular command (
'I' and its counterpart 'Ib' ) seems to be broken - it doesn't prepend
received random cookie at the beginning of the answer.

Just FYI - I collected some examples of control commands here (just
grep for ser_proto:decode):

and here (which could be even more interesting since it contains an
example of a real session - create session, lookup, destroy, get
stats, etc):
