I made one with C# and lidgren library. You could try that.

Socket.io is also a good choice if you are into javascript and nodejs

A bit unconventional idea: https://webrtc.github.io/samples/src/content/datachannel/basic/ in case you don't want to bother with a server... just one thing's - I've tried to use the media capability once... I could not make it run on MAC

These days, when I hear "network apps", I think of NodeJS: https://nodejs.org/en/about/ "...[JavaScript] designed to build scalable network applications." However...Node is usually run on a server and I do not know if it is relatively hard (like: confusing the issue) for this type of problem. On that page, notice that Node was influenced by Python's Twisted framework: https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ "...networking engine written in Python ... making custom network applications easy ..." and Ruby's Event Machine (article link website is down). Perhaps one of these is useful?
