Hello,

I wan't to learn networking but i can't decide which library i should use. I'm on windows(7) and it doesn't need to be
cross-platform. Also i want it to be low-level(as this is for learning purpose) but i can't find anything good.
Most people saying that i should avoid Winsock. I did a quick google search and i read on the microsoft website
about another networking api that is called Network Direct. Is this a good network api for game development?
Couldn't find much information about it. Also it seems that it is a sort of replacement for winsock?

I already checked out boost asio but i prefer to avoid it.

Thanks in advance

(I did check out the FAQ)
