...It is described as an alpha-stage tool, so compatibility and protocol behavior may change between releases. Paqet is most relevant to technical users who are comfortable with raw sockets, server-client tunnel setup, and system-level networking requirements. It should be used responsibly for authorized connectivity, testing, and research scenarios where the user controls the infrastructure.

...The library exposes a minimal event-driven API, allowing developers to build WebSocket applications with relatively little code. It supports standard TCP usage as well as WebSocket operation over KCP and Unix domain sockets. GWS also includes practical features for connection handling, compression, heartbeat management, UTF-8 validation, and scalable read or write loops. It is a strong fit for Go developers who need a lightweight but feature-complete WebSocket foundation for real-time applications.

Lightweight and fast, native Go implementation. No C-bindings, just pure Go. Connections over TCP/IPv4, TCP/IPv6, Unix domain sockets or custom protocols. Automatic handling of broken connections, as well as automatic Connection Pooling (by database/sql package). Supports queries larger than 16MB. Full sql.RawBytes support. It provides intelligent LONG DATA handling in prepared statements. Secure LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE support with file allowlisting and io.Reader support.

Package github /asavie/xdp allows one to use XDP sockets from the Go programming language. With the default UDP payload size of 1400 bytes, running on Linux kernel 5.1.20, on a tg3 (so no native XDP support) gigabit NIC, sendudp does around 980 Mb/s, so practically line rate. TL;DR: in the same environment, sending a pre-generated DNS query using an ordinary UDP socket yield around 30 MiB/s whereas sending it using the senddnsqueries example program yields around 77 MiB/s.

...The library is used where ultra-low latency and high packet rates matter (for example, proxy servers or real-time packet handling). It supports TCP, UDP, and UNIX sockets, multiple address binding, and built-in load balancing across event loops (loops can run single-threaded or multi-threaded). The API is minimalist and exposes event hooks such as Data, Opened, Closed, Tick, allowing developers full control. Because of its architecture, Evio is not a drop-in replacement for standard Go's net/http or net packages; it’s aimed at network-heavy, performance-critical use-cases.
