Internet
Internet is a network library that provides encoding, structure mapping, communication primitives and implementations of network standards, protocols and algorithms in one place.
Development status (August 2026)
The project is only a few days old. A lot of the current roughness is just “hot pie” defects — things that are still cooling down.
Roughly by the 20th of August the API should become significantly more frozen, stable and safer.
Until then every patch contain breaking changes.

Notes
- Mapping for several layers is currently hidden / WIP and will be exposed later.
- Some other protocol implementations exist but remain private (still MVP / unfiltered).
