Crate correspondent 

Overview

correspondent is a high-level networking library which facilitates a non-hierarchical network of peers to send messages.

correspondent uses DNS-SD to discover peers on the local network.

correspondent uses Quinn, an implementation of the QUIC protocol, as a transport layer. These docs may assume some familiarity with Quinn’s API.

See examples/chat.rs for a simple example application.
