    Almost any protocol can be wrapped in any other protocol. You could, say, use bit torrent by encoding the packets and embedding the data in valid png files, then transporting them over http. As long as both sides understand the wrapping it’ll work just fine.

    I’ve even seen http tunneled over DNS queries in order to completely bypass firewalls.
