+A curious oddity is that Old School RuneScape server processes upstream login
+packets in a loop, rather than only permitting a single login packet to be sent
+during the handshake process, which is how most current private servers are
+currently implemented.
+
+For example, it is possible to send an `INIT_GAME_CONNECTION` packet followed
+by an `INIT_JS5REMOTE_CONNECTION` packet. The connection will successfully
+switch to JS5 mode, even though this is not the normal sequence of packets sent
+by the client.
