ZIG
ZIG is a portable, game-oriented client-server networking and execution framework written in C++. It can be used together with other engines or libraries that supply graphics, game physics, etc. in order to implement a full multiplayer game engine. Its goal is to provide an easy-to-use yet powerful game networking engine so that game developers won't feel the need to write networking engines from scratch using low-level APIs such as sockets.

Release Notes: This release brings about two years of bugfixes and enhancements, plus documentation rewritten from scratch. It includes SCTP-like transport of multiple message streams through a single ZIG client-server connection. Each stream enforces a message ordering that is independent of other streams. The ZIG streams also allow you to control bandwidth use (if you want to) and to mix reliable and unreliable messages on the same stream.
