aurpc

Asynchronous UDP RPCs.

Exposes a socket-like interface allowing for sending requests and awaiting a response as well as listening to requests, with UDP as transport.

This is achieved by implementing an 24-bit protocol header on top of UDP containing 8-bit flags and a 16-bit request id.

Since a UDP datagram can carry a maximum of 65507 data bytes. This means that, with the added overhead, each message can be a maximum of 65504 bytes.

Examples

use aurpc::RpcSocket;

let socket = RpcSocket::bind("127.0.0.1:8080").await?;
let mut buf = vec![0u8; 1024];

loop {
    let (n, responder) = socket.recv_from(&mut buf).await?;
    responder.respond(&buf[..n]).await?;
}
