netcode-rs

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!

Original implementation

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

Motivation

There are several problems with the currently published netcode crate:

• It uses libsodium for 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.
