Datagram Protocol
=================

Underpinning Panda's networking capabilities are the classes that compose the
datagram protocol. These classes allow for developer-defined packets to be
transmitted using either the UDP or TCP protocols. Panda's datagram layer can
serve as a solid foundation for developing higher-level networking
abstractions.

This section describes the classes used to establish a connection
(QueuedConnectionManager,QueuedConnectionListener, QueuedConnectionReader, and
ConnectionWriter), as well as the classes that transmit information
(NetDatagram, PyDatagram, and PyDatagramIterator).
