Efficient UDP unicast, UDP multicast, and IPC message transport
...Aeron Cluster provides support for fault-tolerant services as replicated state machines based on the Raft consensus algorithm. Performance is the key focus. A design goal for Aeron is to be the highest throughput with the lowest and most predictable latency of any messaging system. Aeron integrates with Simple Binary Encoding (SBE) for the best possible message encoding and decoding performance. Many of the data structures used in the creation of Aeron have been factored out to the Agrona project.
