# Connection Layer Codec for Datagram Transports

## Overview

This Rust library provides a codec layer over datagrams (typically over UDP) to assign
connection IDs (u8) and use a Murmur3 hash to verify incoming datagrams.
It enables you to implement connection-oriented communication over a connectionless transports,
allowing for simple connection management and data integrity verification.

## Features

* Connection Management: Assigns unique connection IDs to clients, enabling the host to manage multiple connections.
* Data Integrity: Uses Murmur3 hashing with a seed to verify the integrity of incoming datagrams.
* Simple API: Provides easy-to-use encoders and decoders for both host and client sides.

## Security Considerations

> [!IMPORTANT]
> The connections established using this codec are, by design, not secure. 
> Data is transmitted in plain text and can be intercepted or modified by attackers. 
> There is no protection against eavesdropping, man-in-the-middle attacks, 
> or other network-based threats.

## Installation

Add the following to your Cargo.toml:

```toml
[dependencies]
connection-layer = "0.0.1"
```
