Documentation

Provides a reasonable guarantee that messages being send over UDP arrive at the other connector.

This crate is a work in progress and should not be used in production yet.

This crate uses a struct called Connector that eventually guarantees that all persistent messages arrive at the other end, or it will disconnect.

This crate differentiates between two message types:

• Confirmed: This is a message that is:
• • Guaranteed to arrive at some point
• • Not guaranteed to arrive in the correct order
• Unconfirmed: This is a message that is not guaranteed to arrive

Use cases can be:

• Sending player data does not always have to arrive, because the location is updated 10 times a second (unconfirmed)
• Login information should always arrive, but this can take a second (confirmed)
