The NetworkMgr class encapsulates the low-level networking functionality of the engine. High-level networking functionality is exposed by the MessageMgr class. The single instance of the Network Manager is constructed during an application's initialization and destroyed at termination.

The Network Manager's member functions are accessed through the global pointer TheNetworkMgr.
