What connection does SAMP use - GlitchedSoftware - 17.05.2009

Ok, i have no idea where to put this question, so i just hoped you guys would know. To be blunt, SAMP is the only game me and my mates have found that can host servers on our schools internet, for all our other games we have had to host our own networks. Yet samp we can broadcast in one part of the school and we all play during the boring lessons.
My only question is how on earth it does this, i didn't want to reverse enginneer the SAMP program (which means i tried and gave up), so i just wanted to know if any of the actuall developers of SAMP could explain how they beat every other game me and my friends have tried to play on the school network before cos we could actually see the Samp server we hosted unlike the rest of games.

They use RakNet, using UDP Protocol.

Judging from experience with other RakNet using games, SA:MP does not seem that "smooth" I think SA:MP may be using an older version of RakNet, not the latest.
