# deco-network-optimize: reconstructing Deco Network Optimization commands

> deco-network-optimize implements the TP-Link Deco app's private TMP/App-V2 Network Optimization sequence for a Deco X20-DSL. It opens an SSH direct-tcpip channel to tmpsvr, sends scan and poll commands, and requests channel optimization when the device reports an optimizable state. The accompanying protocol notes document framing, checksum and the recovered command opcodes.
