I'm not sure what you mean by a "network library". And I daresay the recommendation would very much depend on what you mean to achieve. MessagePack is just a serializer, so you can serialize data and send it over any network connection you want, from any library, or save it to a file, ... whatever. The only recommendation I have for you is if you need RPC, meaning invoking methods over the network, and you want to use MessagePack to serialize arguments and return values, then StreamJsonRpc+MessagePack make a great pair. |

thank you for the reply. I mean a library to perform the actual network transport, in the context of a c# "game". I was hoping that I could get a recommendation on netlib to avoid needing to research the various options, but I'll just start with the one of them and go from there. |
