Detailed Description

Client is a base class representing a client connection to the server.

It is used for connecting to a given host and port, and when the start() method is called on the thread, it continiously reads packets from the server and calls processPacket() method. It is up to the subclasses to this class to override this method and do something meaningful with the packet.

kConnectionTimeout - set initially to detect faulty connections (to. servers which are not recognized by us). Especially important if we need to get some kind of a confirmation message. kDefaultTimeout - set after a successful connection. Setting to None, ensures that the client never timeouts on reading the data from the server.
