Crate cobalt

cobalt is low level a networking library which implements virtual connections over UDP supporting both unreliable messaging and reliable messages with optional in-order delivery.

It is designed for use with real-time, low latency situations, for example action oriented multiplayer games.

The library provides the underlying architecture required for handling and maintaining virtual connections over UDP sockets and takes care of sending raw messages over the established client-server connections with minimal overhead.
