Communication
Diablo III normally communicates to Battle.net 2.0 over port 1119 (TCP/UDP?).
Possible login servers
- eu.logon.battle.net - 213.248.127.130
- us.logon.battle.net - 12.129.206.130
- beta.actual.battle.net - 12.129.236.246
Agent.exe communication
It is also known that Diablo III communicates with Agent.exe (the installation manager, updater, installation repairer, etc.) over 127.0.0.1:1119. So if you listen for connections on 127.0.0.1:1119, you'll hit agent packets (HTTP request like /agent, /delete).
You can skip the launcher and redirect to another IP with the following parameters:
<Diablo III.exe path> -launch --auroraaddress ip:port
Protocol / Networking Code
Diablo 3 uses Protocol Buffers in its networking code. Protocol Buffers are a way of encoding structured data in an efficient yet extensible format. Google uses Protocol Buffers for almost all of its internal RPC protocols and file formats.
