NetConstants

Namespace: LiteNetLib

Syntax

public static class NetConstants

Fields

ChanneledHeaderSize

Size of the header for sequenced or reliable messages in bytes.
Includes HeaderSize, Sequence, and ChannelId.

Declaration

public const int ChanneledHeaderSize = 4

Field Value

Type	Description
int

DefaultWindowSize

Default window size for reliable channels (number of packets).

Declaration

public const int DefaultWindowSize = 64

Field Value

Type	Description
int

FragmentHeaderSize

Additional header size required for fragmented packets in bytes.
Includes FragmentId, FragmentPart, and FragmentsTotal.

Declaration

public const int FragmentHeaderSize = 6

Field Value

Type	Description
int

FragmentedHeaderTotalSize

Total header size for a fragmented channeled packet in bytes.
Combines ChanneledHeaderSize and FragmentHeaderSize.

Declaration

public const int FragmentedHeaderTotalSize = 10

Field Value

Type	Description
int

HalfMaxSequence

Half of the MaxSequence, used for sequence comparison and wrap-around logic.

Declaration

public const ushort HalfMaxSequence = 16384

Field Value

Type	Description
ushort

HeaderSize

Size of the base packet header (PacketProperty) in bytes.

Declaration

public const int HeaderSize = 1

Field Value

Type	Description
int

InitialMtu

The starting Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) used for new connections before path MTU discovery.

Declaration

public static readonly int InitialMtu

Field Value

Type	Description
int

MaxConnectionNumber

Maximum possible value for LiteNetLib.NetPacket.ConnectionNumber.

Declaration

public const byte MaxConnectionNumber = 4

Field Value

Type	Description
byte

Remarks

This value is used to distinguish between different connection instances from the same IPEndPoint.
It allows the receiver to identify and discard packets belonging to previous connection attempts that may arrive late due to network jitter, even if they originate from the same address and port.

MaxPacketSize

Maximum possible packet size allowed by the library based on the largest supported MTU.

Declaration

public static readonly int MaxPacketSize

Field Value

Type	Description
int

MaxSequence

Maximum possible sequence number before wrapping back to zero.

Declaration

public const ushort MaxSequence = 32768

Field Value

Type	Description
ushort

MaxUnreliableDataSize

Maximum payload size for a single unreliable packet in bytes.
Calculated as MaxPacketSize - HeaderSize.

Declaration

public static readonly int MaxUnreliableDataSize

Field Value

Type	Description
int

SocketBufferSize

Size of the underlying UDP socket receive and send buffers in bytes.
Default is 1MB.

Declaration

public const int SocketBufferSize = 1048576

Field Value

Type	Description
int

SocketTTL

Time To Live (TTL) for the UDP packets.

Declaration

public const int SocketTTL = 255

Field Value

Type	Description
int
