+## Features
+- Automatic reconnection upon timeout or socket losing connection.
+- High performance Socket and Pipeline usage.
+- Multiple transports and easy extensibility.
+- Server <-> Client communication
+  - Cancellable Invocations
+  - Streaming byte data via `INexusDuplexPipe` with built-in congestion control.
+  - Streaming classes/structs data via `NexusChannel<T>`
+  - Proxies can return:
+    - void for "fire and forget" invocation situations such as notifications.
+    - ValueTask whcih waiting for invocation completion.
+    - ValueTask<T> which will return a value from the remote invocation method.
+- Server can message multiple connected clients with a single invocation.
+- Automatic reconnection of clients upon timeout or loss of connection.
+- Thorough use of ValueTasks in hot paths for reduced invocation overhead.
+- Ping system to detect timeouts from cline tand server side.
+- No reflection. All hubs and proxies are created by the NexNet.Generator project.  This allows for fast execution and easier tracing of bugs.
+- Full asynchronous TPL useage throughout socket reading/writing, processing and execution of invocations and their return values.
+- Minimal external package requirements.

 Some methods are handled differently based upon the arguments passed and there are limitations placed upon the types of arguments which can be used together.
