Interface NetSerializer

public interface NetSerializer

Controls how objects are transmitted over the network.

Every client connection on the server uses a separate instance for TCP transmissions and the same instance for UDP ones. Therefore all implementing classes have to be synchronized or made thread-safe otherwise.
