yojimbo/ netcode/ reliable, all developped by Glenn Fidler, author of GafferOnGames

"Move all" feature added in inventory. In your face little fudsters. Gaming revolution incoming!
They really just didn't know how to go about building a complex online game or what that entails. At one point they were trying to donate to open source networking projects that were still in development and not production-ready in hopes they'd help them make their game, you'll see them listed as sponsors of yojimbo for example. It was bizarre to watch.

Handling acks during 1+ second packet loss with Glenn Fiedler's Reliable UDP Solution
I can't remember exactly how best to handle this (Glenn's yojimbo project is probably your best bet for a concrete implementation), but here's an idea: buffer and ACK some packets (e.g. up to N packets following your missing packet) and discard everything else (without ACK) until the missing one shows up. The protocol will then continuously try to send your missing packet, in addition to the packets you've intentionally not ACK'd. Once the missing packet shows up you can process it and any buffered packets up to your next missing packet and repeat.

I need a good and simple networking library for C++
You may want to take a look at yojimbo , looks like it will fit your requirements pretty well.

Microsoft wins FTC fight to buy Activision Blizzard
Halo was mostly all about single player and early multiplayer/local multiplayer but their online netcode has sucked since Blood Gulch. Lots of games do networking horribly, I have been in gamedev making networking and I hate most of what people do. The ones that have a clean natting, based on enet style reliable UDP channels, RakNet style punch are better (RakNet was good until Facebook bought it). It has come a long way but also fallen back. Valve source netcode (on github) is probably the best and you can check it out here. They started with the best in Quake networking, then to Source.

Multiplayer Networking Solutions
Raknet No longer worked on but from what I've read, it's complete and working. It has been used in many games between 2000 - 2010

Making a multiplayer server
Inconsistencies can be prevented by ensuring the server handles all operations and does so in a given order, then transmits the results to clients. I wrote a little about this for my game Avoyd a long while ago. Clients (including a client running the server) send an edit request via reliable ordered UDP (e.g. using Enet, Raknet, Steam Networking etc.) and the server places these in a single queue then performs the edits and sends the results back also using reliable ordered UDP.

[Discussion] What are some old C++ open source projects you wish were still active?
RakNet. It's been forked but still not that active.

I want to make a game for Linux. Where do I even start?
RakNet (UDP network library)
What are some alternatives?
When comparing yojimbo and RakNet you can also consider the following projects:
ENet-CSharp - Reliable UDP networking library
KCP - :zap: KCP - A Fast and Reliable ARQ Protocol
netcode.io - Secure client/server connections over UDP
Simple-WebSocket-Server
bitproto - The bit level data interchange format for serializing data structures (long term maintenance).
