Pure Rust implementation of the netcode.io protocol.
Standard version 1.02 is supported.
Note: netcode-rs is not production ready yet. There are outstanding issues and insufficient test coverage which currently blocks publication on crates.io. Contributions are welcome, of course!
netcode-rs is built on top of the work of these awesome people:
- Val Vanders: original Rust implementation
- Walter Pearce: forked and updated Rust implementation
There are several problems with the currently published netcode crate:
- It uses
libsodiumfor encryption, which is a C dependency. There are multiple pure Rust AEAD implementations which can be used instead. - It's not maintained anymore, thus it only supports protocol version 1.01 and lacks important fixes which were implemented in the reference C implementation in the meantime.
netcode-rs aims to provide an up-to-date, pure Rust implementation which solves these issues.
