This is an ongoing project I'm currently building. It is a connection-based reliable network protocol custom built on top of UDP. Intended use is for games where data is often time critical.
It offers:
- Detection of connections and disconnection
- Reliable & unreliable packets
It does NOT offer:
- Packet fragmentation
- Congestion avoidance
- Security
In the code is an example of how you might set up networking with my protcol alongside my core layer. The example sends reliable packets back and forth between the client and host for making sure that no packet was lost.
Building this requires the MSVC compiler.
