kcptun
A stable and secure tunnel based on KCP with N:M multiplexing and FEC
kcptun is a stable and secure tunnel based on KCP with N:M multiplexing and FEC. Available for ARM, MIPS, 386 and AMD64. kcptun is shipped with builtin packet encryption powered by various block encryption algorithms and works in Cipher Feedback Mode, for each packet to be sent, the encryption process will start from encrypting a nonce from the system entropy, so encryption to same plaintexts never leads to a same ciphertexts thereafter. kcptun made use of ReedSolomon-Codes to recover lost packets, which requires massive amount of computation, a low-end ARM device cannot satisfy kcptun well. To unleash the full potential of kcptun, a multi-core x86 homeserver CPU like AMD Opteron is recommended. If you insist on running under some ARM routers, you'd better turn off FEC and use salsa20 as the encryption method. -

KCP
A fast and reliable ARQ protocol
KCP is a fast and reliable protocol that can achieve the transmission effect of a reduction of the average latency by 30% to 40% and reduction of the maximum delay by a factor of three, at the cost of 10% to 20% more bandwidth wasted than TCP. It is implemented by using the pure algorithm, and is not responsible for the sending and receiving of the underlying protocol (such as UDP), requiring the users to define their own transmission mode for the underlying data packet, and provide it to KCP in the way of callback. Even the clock needs to be passed in from the outside, without any internal system calls. The entire protocol has only two source files of ikcp.h, ikcp.c, which can be easily integrated into the user's own protocol stack. You may have implement a P2P, or a UDP-based protocol, but are lack of a set of perfect ARQ reliable protocol implementation, then by simply copying the two files to the existing project, and writing a couple of lines of code, you can use it. -

KCP C#
KCP C# version. Thread safe, no alloc at runtime, no pressure on gc
KumoKyaku KCP is a C# implementation of the KCP reliable UDP protocol designed for high-performance .NET applications. It provides ready-to-use APIs while also allowing advanced users to customize segment handling and memory behavior. The project uses unsafe code and unmanaged memory internally to reduce garbage collection pressure, which is important for real-time systems. It supports Span<byte>, external buffer rental, and a generic KcpCore<Segment> architecture for performance-focused implementations. The library is partly thread-safe, allowing concurrent Send and Input calls while restricting concurrent Recv and Update calls for correctness. It is useful for game networking, real-time communication, and other latency-sensitive C# applications that need reliable delivery over UDP. -
