Parlo - secure communication for .NET

Parlo has sprouted unit tests, and they're all passing at the moment!
Has also been tested locally with 3k clients.

Parlo now supports adaptive compression based on the size of the data being sent and the RTT (Round Trip Time).
Now I want to focus on getting test coverage, and then maybe adding UDP support.
Parlo will be released as a NuGet package shortly!

As of about right now, Parlo has a built-in Heartbeat system which means clients will be disposed of by the server if they're no longer connected.
The next thing to tackle is compression, then creating a NuGet package and converting it to C++!

I never learned UDP. And there's a reason for that: World of Warcraft and Guild Wars use TCP.
If you want a fast-paced game (even with fewer clients), UDP should be used.
But TCP is more than good enough for most RPGs (even wi*snip*
