+ - it works to connecto to a master server which is connected to a proxy itself
+
+
+
+UNSOLVED:
+=========
+ - what if the proxy server gets a new client and wants to add it to the game? There are some problems waiting in the network game manager
+ - actualy the whole message sending system won't work in this network topic. proxys have to relay messages to clients
+ - the clients cant get its ip in the handleHandshakes without throuwing sigseg

 UserId:
+=======
 containing the id of a user (==client). This id must be unique within a orxonox network its used especialy in the NetworkStream for node identification and also in the Synchronizeable base class for permissions checking (PERMISSION_OWNER)
-WARNING:
-There is some correlation between userids and the maxplayer, do not touch this.
+
+the connections belonging tu toe userId's are stored in the NetworkStream::peers std::map. As a keyvalue the userId's are used. Therefore the usage of this peers map is very delicate. Don't ever try to add anything you are not sure about the id stuff.
+
+There are some reserved id's, don't mess with them:
+0 :                  Master Server
+1 :                  First Proxy Server
+2 :                  Second Proxy Server
+3 :                  Third Proxy Server
+4 :                  Fourth Proxy Server

+.
+NET_MAX_PROXY        The maximal number of proxy servers
+NET_MAX... + 1       First Client
+NET_MAX... + 2       Second Client
+.
+.
+.
+NET_MAX_CONNECTION   Last client
+
+The proxy server ids are assigned as stated in the data/trunk/config/network_settings.conf, the first proxy server in the list gets the id NET_ID_PROXY_01 and so on.
+
 
 
 uniqueId:
+=========
 uniqueId is an id (unique :D) for each synchronizeable to be identified in a network. the number space for uniqueIds goes from 0 to maxplayers - 1
 
 
+permissions:
+============
+Each synchronizeable variable has some write permissions. this permission systems allows to manage which network nodes are able to write the variables.
+PERMISSION_MASTER_SERVER       : only the master server can write this variable
+PERMISSION_PROXY_SERVER        : only the proxy server can write this variable
+PERMISSION_OWNER               : only the owner can write this variable
+PERMISSION_ALL                 : all clients can write this variable
+
+
+
+
+
 NetworkStream PeerInfo list: (peers)
+=====================================
 The network node with the offset 0 is always the server to which the client must connect to (in case there are connections to other hosts at the same time).
