Does the TGEA come with the Torque Network Library(or the TNL) as it network code or something different?

The networking engine that is TNL is *not* the one you'll find in TGE/TGEA. TNL is a product which was branched out from TGE to create a standalone networking engine which is very close to the one in TGE. They added a few features and changed the structure a bit. TNL has encryption built-in while TGE's networking engine has not.

So then that TGEA network layer should be good for most cases right? For example supporting multi player in the same fashion as something like Diablo2?

You won't be disappointed by the performance of the networking layer, that's for sure.

Oh yes, functionally (apart from the encryption-part) they are mostly the same. There are just some architectual differences probably aimed at making it more component-like, since it's meant to be more general purpose and put into other engines.You won't be disappointed by the performance of the networking layer, that's for sure.
