Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

How do you do UDP Flow control?
uflow seems like it'd be closer to what I'm looking for but I wanted to try to do this without pulling third party crates to do the protocol for me.

Choosing a networking library for my game
enet - Golden standard, tested and reliable - Not native rust - Does not seem to be popular in rust turbulence - Readme says it is not stable, but last meaningful commit was 1 year ago - Lacking documentation and examples - Not very popular laminar - Last meaningful release was 3 years ago (ignoring changes that fix typos etc.) - Despite this, everywhere (book, readme) there are mentions that it is under "active development" - Created for Amethyst, which is dead. I am kinda fearful that the same thing will happen to this lib. Tachyon - New and not tested in the battle - Many features that other libraries have planned, Tachyon actually has implemented - Lacking documentation (except for one big readme file), tests, examples Quinn - Big, under active development (daily commits), very popular because web development. - Modular, ability to just use core implemetation: quinn-proto - Do i really need TLS certificates and cryptography for my playing with friends game server? - Stream based, I would need to implement recv/send messages on top of it (not that hard tbh) - Only reliable stream and "unreliable" messages.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing uflow and enet-rs you can also consider the following projects:
laminar - A simple semi-reliable UDP protocol for multiplayer games
turbulence - Networking library for games, multiplex reliable and unreliable streams over unreliable datagrams.
backroll-rs - A (almost) 100% pure safe Rust implementation of GGPO-style rollback netcode.
website - Let's Encrypt Website and Documentation
quinn - Async-friendly QUIC implementation in Rust
Aeron - Efficient reliable UDP unicast, UDP multicast, and IPC message transport
