udp-over-tcp is a library and binaries for tunneling UDP datagrams over
a TCP stream.
Some programs/protocols only work over UDP. And some networks only allow TCP.
This is where `udp-over-tcp` comes in handy. This library comes in two parts:
* `udp2tcp` - Forwards incoming UDP datagrams over a TCP stream. The return
stream is translated back to datagrams and sent back out over UDP again.
This part can be easily used as both a library and a binary.
So it can be run standalone, but can also easily be included in other
Rust programs. The UDP socket is connected to the peer address of the first
incoming datagram. So one [`Udp2Tcp`] instance can handle traffic from a
single peer only.
* `tcp2udp` - Accepts connections over TCP and translates + forwards the
incoming stream as UDP datagrams to the destination specified during setup
and on the command line.
Designed mostly to be a standalone executable to run on servers. But can be
consumed as a Rust library as well.
