Detailed Description

Event representing a network message.

NetworkEvent encapsulates network messages received from or sent to the server:

• Message type (WORLD_STATE, PLAYER_INPUT, etc.)
• Raw binary data payload
• Decoded message content (for convenience)
• Timestamp for latency measurement

Flow:

• Replicator receives UDP packet → Creates NetworkEvent → Publishes on EventBus
• Game systems subscribe to NetworkEvent → Process data → Update game state

Note

Data is stored as raw bytes; interpretation depends on message type

Timestamp is set by Replicator for RTT calculation
