This is a simple networking plugin for the Bevy game engine. This plugin
provides the building blocks which game developers can use to develop online
multiplayer games using the authoritative server model.

Currently, this plugin provides full connection life cycle management over UDP.

By default, idle connections are dropped after 5 seconds, but this can be
configured by changing the value of a `NetworkResource`'s `idle_timeout`
parameter.

Clients using the `ClientPlugin` automatically send a heartbeat packet every few
seconds to keep the connection alive.
