How low level a networking use do you desire?

I certainly managed to use it to implement a protocol over UDP without any issues, that having byte and bit packed values.

Or do you wish to have something similar to C with structs and (endian dependent) bitfields overlaid on packet buffers?

endian dependent until you tell gcc which endianness you want :) Which you can't do in go.
