    2828When using this extension, instead of passing the ``info_hash`` parameter 
    29 to the tracker, an ``sha_ih`` is passed.

    3131The value of ``sha_ih`` MUST be the info-hash of the torrent, with a second

    48 If the tracker supports this extension, the response should be exactly the 
    49 same as if the ``info_hash`` was passed, except that any field that contains 
    50 peer information (such as ``peers``, ``peers6`` or any other field defined 
    51 by another extension) MUST be obfuscated as described in the next section.

    5960We distinguish between the *tracker peer list* and the *returned peer 
    6061list*.  The *tracker peer list* contains the ip-port pairs of all 
    61 known peers in a given torrent, i.e., those peers that have reported to 
    62 the tracker that they are downloading or seeding a given file with a 
    63 given infohash.  The tracker may store this peer list however it 
    64 wishes.  The *returned peer list* contains a packed array of ip-port 
    65 pairs conforming to the BitTorrent protocol specification.  If the 
    66 swarm is sufficiently large then the returned ip-port pairs constitute 
    67 a subset of the ip-port pairs in the *tracker peer list*.
