Well, the website is pretty much a design document. The protocol is partially
documented on the website too and you can find more details if you open the
net/cor/cor.h file. Also, if there is something you want to know, feel free to
ask. I try to keep the docs readable by not adding too much irrelevant stuff
and without feedback it is hard to know whether something is relevant or not.
