Travis Build Status

netcode.io

netcode.io is a connection-oriented protocol built on top of UDP.

It's designed for use in client/server games with dedicated servers.

It has the following security features:

  • Protection against man-in-the-middle attacks.
  • Protection against DDoS amplification attacks.
  • Protection against packet replay attacks.
  • Protection against zombie clients.

netcode.io has been used in several AAA game projects and is stable and mature.

How does it work?

Please refer to the second half of this whitepaper: Why can't I send UDP packets from a browser?

For a complete technical specification, read the netcode 1.02 standard.
