First why is under CLEO -> Help. I think its in the wrong section.

RakNet is basically a multiplayer game engine, its an API used to create clients and servers for multiplayer games such as SA-MP for GTA San Andreas.

BitStream is just a stream of bits used in RakNet to hold packets then a person can send this bitstream using the RakNet interface if there is a valid connection.

Here is an example from the RakSAMP client source.

	RakNet::BitStream bsSend;
	BYTE byteTextLen = strlen(szMessage);
	bsSend.Write(byteTextLen);
	bsSend.Write(szMessage, byteTextLen);
	pRakClient->RPC(&RPC_Chat, &bsSend, HIGH_PRIORITY, RELIABLE, 0, FALSE, UNASSIGNED_NETWORK_ID, NULL);

This code will send a message to the chat in SAMP, here we are writing the packet with correct sequence to the bitstream then we are sending it using the RakNet interface.
