# xenet
Cross-platform networking library for Rust
[](https://crates.io/crates/xenet)
[](https://docs.rs/xenet)
[](https://github.com/shellrow/xenet/blob/main/LICENSE)
## Overview
`xenet` is a Rust library that provides cross-platform low-level networking capabilities.
It includes a set of modules, each with a specific focus:
- `datalink`: Datalink layer networking.
- `packet`: Low-level packet parsing and building.
- `packet-builder`: High-level packet building.
- `socket`: Socket-related functionality.
## Upcoming Features
The project has plans to enhance xenet with the following features:
- XDP Support: Adding support for eBPF, specifically XDP (eXpress Data Path), for high-performance packet processing and filtering.
- More Protocol Support: Expanding protocol support to include additional network protocols and standards.
- Performance Improvements: Continuously working on performance enhancements for faster network operations.
## Usage
To use `xenet`, add it as a dependency in your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
xenet = "0.5"
```
## Using Specific Sub-crates
You can also directly use specific sub-crates by importing them individually.
- `xenet-datalink`
- `xenet-packet`
- `xenet-packet-builder`
- `xenet-socket`
If you want to focus on network interfaces, you can use the [default-net](https://github.com/shellrow/default-net).
