    In the unity Transport preview the JobifiedServerBehaviour uses a NativeList<NetworkConnections>
    How is it that NetworkConnections is a blittable type? Is there workflow for creating your own blittable types that you can store in native containers? Or is because theres some implicit formatting of the data in the NativeContainer that the container automatically knows how to marshal the data into unmanaged memory as such that doesn't need to be blittable?

    Why do you think NetworkConnection wouldn't be blittable?

    It's just a struct with 2 int fields

    internal int m_NetworkId;
    internal int m_NetworkVersion;
