// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Major Low Level Functions - Functions needed by most users--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/// \brief Starts the network threads, opens the listen port.
/// You must call this before calling Connect().
/// Multiple calls while already active are ignored. To call this function again with different settings, you must first call Disconnect().
/// \note Call SetMaximumIncomingConnections if you want to accept incoming connections
/// \param[in] maxConnections The maximum number of connections between this instance of RakPeer and another instance of RakPeer. Required so the network can preallocate and for thread safety. A pure client would set this to 1. A pure server would set it to the number of allowed clients.- A hybrid would set it to the sum of both types of connections
/// \param[in] localPort The port to listen for connections on.
/// \param[in] _threadSleepTimer How many ms to Sleep each internal update cycle (30 to give the game priority, 0 for regular (recommended), -1 to not Sleep() (may be slower))
/// \param[in] forceHostAddress Can force RakNet to use a particular IP to host on. Pass 0 to automatically pick an IP
/// \return False on failure (can't create socket or thread), true on success.
/// Secures connections though a combination of SHA1, AES128, SYN Cookies, and RSA to prevent connection spoofing, replay attacks, data eavesdropping, packet tampering, and MitM attacks.
/// There is a significant amount of processing and a slight amount of bandwidth overhead for this feature.
/// If you accept connections, you must call this or else secure connections will not be enabled for incoming connections.
/// If you are connecting to another system, you can call this with values for the (e and p,q) public keys before connecting to prevent MitM
/// \pre Must be called while offline
/// \param[in] pubKeyE A pointer to the public keys from the RSACrypt class.
/// \param[in] pubKeyN A pointer to the public keys from the RSACrypt class.
/// \param[in] privKeyP Public key generated from the RSACrypt class.
/// \param[in] privKeyQ Public key generated from the RSACrypt class. If the private keys are 0, then a new key will be generated when this function is called@see the Encryption sample
/// Sets the password incoming connections must match in the call to Connect (defaults to none). Pass 0 to passwordData to specify no password
/// This is a way to set a low level password for all incoming connections. To selectively reject connections, implement your own scheme using CloseConnection() to remove unwanted connections
/// \param[in] passwordData A data block that incoming connections must match. This can be just a password, or can be a stream of data. Specify 0 for no password data
/// \param[in] passwordDataLength The length in bytes of passwordData
/// \brief Connect to the specified host (ip or domain name) and server port.
/// Calling Connect and not calling SetMaximumIncomingConnections acts as a dedicated client.
/// Calling both acts as a true peer. This is a non-blocking connection.
/// You know the connection is successful when IsConnected() returns true or Receive() gets a message with the type identifier ID_CONNECTION_ACCEPTED.

/// \param[in] host Either a dotted IP address or a domain name
/// \param[in] remotePort Which port to connect to on the remote machine.
/// \param[in] passwordData A data block that must match the data block on the server passed to SetIncomingPassword. This can be a string or can be a stream of data. Use 0 for no password.
/// \param[in] passwordDataLength The length in bytes of passwordData

/// \brief Stops the network threads and closes all connections.
/// \param[in] blockDuration How long you should wait for all remaining messages to go out, including ID_DISCONNECTION_NOTIFICATION. If 0, it doesn't wait at all.
