networkslight
Networkslight is a term used in computer networking to describe a minimalist approach to building networked applications and services. It refers to a lightweight, modular stack designed for resource-constrained environments where traditional full-featured networking protocols would be excessive. The idea behind networkslight is to provide essential primitives for connectivity, message exchange, and service discovery while keeping memory usage, code size, and power consumption to a minimum.
Design and components: A networkslight stack typically includes a transport interface (supporting UDP or a small
Applications and usage: Networkslight is commonly associated with IoT devices, sensor networks, and edge computing scenarios
Limitations and reception: Because it is minimal by design, networkslight typically lacks advanced routing features, QoS,
