§Codec

This file is part of the Network Protocol project.

It defines the codec for encoding and decoding protocol packets using the Packet struct.

The codec is designed to work with the tokio framework for asynchronous I/O. Specifically, the PacketCodec struct implements the Decoder and Encoder traits from tokio_util::codec.

§Responsibilities

  • Decode packets from a byte stream
  • Encode packets into a byte stream
  • Handle fixed-length headers and variable-length payloads

This module is essential for processing protocol packets in a networked environment, ensuring correct parsing and serialization.

It is designed to be efficient, minimal, and easy to integrate into the protocol layer.
