hdfssk/GameNetworkingSockets

Project ID: 202817

GameNetworkingSockets is a basic transport layer for games. The features are:

Connection-oriented API (like TCP)
…but message-oriented (like UDP), not stream-oriented
Supports both reliable and unreliable message types
Messages can be larger than underlying MTU. The protocol performs fragmentation, reassembly, and retransmission for reliable messages
A reliability layer significantly more sophisticated than a basic TCP-style sliding window
Encryption. AES-GCM-256 per packet, Curve25519 for key exchange and cert signatures
Tools for simulating packet latency/loss, and detailed stats measurement
Head-of-line blocking control and bandwidth sharing of multiple message streams ("lanes") on the same connection
IPv6 support
Peer-to-peer networking
Cross platform

To install the package:

sudo dnf -y copr enable hdfssk/GameNetworkingSockets
sudo dnf -y install GameNetworkingSockets-devel
