ProtoN protocol

Recent update: 2023/06/21

This one is UDP-based network protocol. Something like "pseudo-TCP" or "TCP-over-UDP".
Too long to list all the tech details here, but there are few generic.
Comparing to raw TCP:

• - it should be faster/more responsible
• - it should be more fault-tolerant (provide faster reaction in cases of packet lost)
• - it can work with much lower traffic overhead (TCP overhead is 2.8% minimum, often much higher)
• - it is UDP-based, this brings lesser problems with NAT or firewall

• - it takes care of packet loss
• - provides retransmission mechanism
• - provides connection state control/timeouts/keepalive
• - all such things that UDP lacks by design
