Crate lightyear_link

Expand description

§Lightyear Link

This crate defines the Link component and related abstractions for network communication. A Link represents a connection to a remote peer and handles the buffering of incoming and outgoing byte payloads. It is transport-agnostic, meaning the actual sending and receiving of bytes over a physical (or virtual) network is handled by a separate IO layer (e.g., UDP, WebTransport, Crossbeam channels).

It also includes features like:

Link conditioning (simulating latency, jitter, packet loss) via LinkConditioner.
Link state management (Linked, Linking, Unlinked).
Basic link statistics (LinkStats).

Structs§

Link: Represents a link between two peers, allowing for sending and receiving data. This only stores the payloads to be sent and received, the actual bytes will be sent by an Io component
LinkConditioner
LinkPlugin: Bevy plugin that sets up the systems for managing Link components.
LinkReceiver: Handles receiving and buffering incoming payloads for a Link.
LinkSender: Handles buffering outgoing payloads for a Link.
LinkStart: Event triggered to initiate the process of establishing a Link.
LinkStats: Stores statistics about a Link, such as bytes/packets sent and received, RTT, and jitter.
Linked
Linking
Unlink: Event triggered to initiate the process of terminating a Link.
Unlinked

Enums§

LinkReceiveSet
LinkSet: System sets for Link-related operations.
LinkState: Represents the current connection state of a Link.
