Reloaded.Networking is library that adds support for simple, high performance message packing to existing networking libraries.
Specifically, it provides a minimal framework for performing the following tasks:
- Asynchronous message processing for external networking libraries.
- Sending/Receiving messages with (de)serialization and [optional] (de)compression.
- Automatically dispatching messages to appropriate handlers (per message type).
It was originally created for Reloaded II, however has been extended in the hope of becoming a more general purpose library.
This library is heavily optimized for achieving high throughput for messages < 128KB.
- High performance. (Memory pooling, allocation free).
- Low networking overhead.
- Custom serializer/compressor per class type.
- Simple message packing/protocol.
- 1 byte overhead for uncompressed, 5 bytes for compressed.
- Unsafe.
