GSNet Msg
Header
The header of the GSNet Msg contains the information necessary for quickly determining authenticity, type and length. Geometry Service's network library, libNetwork, is built upon BRL-CAD's networking library: libPKG. This causes the header byte layout to look like this:
| Element | Length | Value |
| Magic1 | int16 (2 Bytes) | Always 0x41FE |
| Magic2 | int16 (2 Bytes) | Always 0x5309 |
| MessageLength | int32 (4 bytes) | |
| MsgType | int16 (2 bytes) | |
| MessageUUID | String (Variable bytes) | |
| HasRegardingUUID | Boolean (1 byte) | |
| RegardingMessageUUID | String (Variable bytes) |
