UDP Ping packet

Mumble supports querying the following data by sending a ping packet to the target server. Both the request and the response packets are formatted in Big Endian.

The ping request packet contains the following data:

Width Data type Value Comment
4 bytes int 0 Denotes the request type
8 bytes long long ident Used to identify the reponse.


The response will then contain the following data:

Width Data type Value Comment
4 bytes int Version e.g., \x0\x1\x2\x3 for 1.2.3. Can be interpreted as one single int or four signed chars.
8 bytes long long ident the ident value sent with the request
4 bytes int Currently connected users count
4 bytes int Maximum users (slot count)
4 bytes int Allowed bandwidth
