If server has nothing to send, data length is 0 bytes.
If server has something to send, it will send a downstream data packet,
prefixed with 2 bytes header as shown above.
======================================================
2. Raw UDP protocol
======================================================
All Raw UDP protcol messages start with a 3 byte header: 0x10d19e
This is not the start of a valid DNS message so it is easy to identify.
The fourth byte contains the command and the user id.

Login message (command = 1):
The header is followed by a MD5 hash with the same password as in the DNS
login. The client starts the raw mode by sending this message, and uses
the login challenge +1, and the server responds using the login challenge -1.
After the login message has been exchanged, both the server and the client
switch to raw udp mode for the rest of the connection.
Data message (command = 2):
After the header comes the payload data, which may be compressed.
Ping message (command = 3):
Sent from client to server and back to keep session open. Has no payload.
