Some more comments in the code probably wouldn't help. e.g. each
file should have some description at the top what it does.

What I always wonder with new complex networking protocols 
(which ceph essentially is): has there been some auditing/testing
what happens when a server feeds unexpected/out of bounds data
to the client? e.g. a security audit would be good. Otherwise
you might end up with remote exploits.
