Skype protocol: Technology, Peer-to-peer architecture & Protocol details

The Skype protocol is a discontinued proprietary network used for Internet telephony. Its specifications are not publicly available, and all official applications based on the protocol are closed-source. It lacks interoperability with most Voice over IP (VoIP) networks, so it would require licensing from Skype for any integration.
