• From Server to Kad: If you have a working Server list, eMule can use a feature called "Bootstrapping from Server." It contacts an eD2K server to find its first Kad peers (nodes). Once connected, it disconnects from the server aspect of the process and operates independently on Kad.
• Known Clients: eMule can also build a Kad "list" (routing table) by analyzing the IP addresses of clients it connects to via the standard server list.
