The netrt library is a direct implementation of the Glenn Fiedler article series about Networking for Game Programmers which design a Real-Time protocol on UDP.
You could need netrt if you have real time constraints on your network communication, which means that you need the data to arrive in a specific time frame after which they are no longuer of interest (like input commands in a mutliplayer FPS).
This library use the Rust standard library with as few dependencies as possible and minimum runtime overhead. It needs rust 1.4.0 at least for compiling.
If you need low-level networking, check libpnet.
Idée:
- Traits de stratégies de datalink: RealTime, TimeSensitive, Reliable, Critical
- Chaque trait des tags de configuration supplémentaire:
- RT: redondance faible/forte
- TS: ordonné, NACK, expire court/immediat
- RL: ordonné, ACK, NACK, expire long/court
- redondance oblig
- CR: redondance faible/forte, ordonné, ACK, expire jamais/long
- redondance oblig
- NACK obligatoire is there a [u8] builder ? bytestreamwriter or something ? What would be the most std way of incrementially writing a [u8] from parts

Non authoritative summary:
- For all private use or software projects with internal distribution, you have nothing to do.
- For software projects with distribution outside of your organization:
- If the source is NOT MODIFIED: you need to list publicly this library as your dependency with a link to the original repository (https://github/mackwic/netrt).
- If the source is MODIFIED: you need to distribute the modified part of the MPL-licensed source code under the MPL.
- You can use whatever licence you want on all the other source code or softwares.
