Well, obviously you can't know everything as you can't enter in their servers (but I'm 80% positive that if you wanted, you could XD), but you got to know a good piece of informations. I've always wondered how their servers worked in details. Like, what do they do to open the servers, etc.
The important thing to understand is there is very minimal variation in the basics of how most server daemons work. They all have to accept the same basic flow of traffic, and they all have similarly limited things they can do with that traffic, ie: Handle the traffic, route the traffic, or reject the traffic.
The same basic knowledge that goes into setting up your home (or corporate) network can be applied to most of the internet in some fashion, so understanding how a game does things is really just applying that same basic info to determine what's happening on the other end of the network.
It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.
