LOG_REQUESTS = 1 - CCcam Daemon: The main service listening on a network port (typically 12000, though Italian ISPs sometimes require alternatives)
- Configuration File: CCcam.cfg — contains credentials, user accounts, and server behavior
- Log Files: Event records for debugging and monitoring
- Network Connections: Inbound (clients) and outbound (upstream feed providers) - DVB Protocol Layers: How conditional access systems work at the protocol level
- Network Proxy Architecture: Building systems that aggregate and distribute credentials
- Distributed System Challenges: Handling multiple upstream connections reliably
- Real-world ISP Constraints: Working within actual network limitations
