Description
While this library has shown to scale up to larger server based use cases and cross-continent P2P connections, the lack of a LAN discovery tool for quick and dirty LAN play makes it hard to scale down. I'm working on direct 1v1 games that will largely benefit from avoiding a hop to the nearest relay/authoritative server to establish a game over the same subnet.
