LibTML Messaging Suite - Network Messaging Library in C++

•    C++

---

TML Messaging Suite is a network messaging library for rapid development of extensible and scalable interfaces. Based on the peer to peer standard protocol BEEP (Blocks Extensible Exchange Protocol), defined in RFC3080 and RFC3081 libTML is suitable for many use cases and communication patterns. The libtml-c project is a C++ implementation of a library with a C interface on top of the Vortex beepcore.

Twisted - Networking Engine in Python

•    Python

---

Twisted is an event-driven networking engine written in Python. Twisted makes it easy to implement custom network applications, both servers and clients. It also supports many common network protocols, including SMTP, POP3, IMAP, SSHv2, DNS and lot more. The twisted.web webserver is a scalable, small-footprint web server that's easy to configure. It's efficient enough to serve a high-traffic website.

Tokio - Platform for writing fast networking code in Rust

•    Rust

---

Tokio is an asynchronous runtime for the Rust programming language. It provides the building blocks needed for writing network applications. It gives the flexibility to target a wide range of systems, from large servers with dozens of cores to small embedded devices. It provides a multi-threaded, work-stealing scheduler. Applications can process hundreds of thousands of requests per second with minimal overhead.

DPDK - Data Plan Development Kit

•    C

---

DPDK is a set of libraries and drivers for fast packet processing. It was designed to run on any processors. The first supported CPU was Intel x86 and it is now extended to IBM Power 8, EZchip TILE-Gx and ARM. These libraries can be used to receive and send packets within the minimum number of CPU cycles (usually less than 80 cycles), develop fast packet capture algorithms (tcpdump-like) and run third-party fast path stacks.

libuv - Cross platform Asynchronous I/O

•    C

---

libuv is a multi-platform support library with a focus on asynchronous I/O. It was primarily developed for use by Node.js, but it’s also used by Luvit, Julia, pyuv, and others. Its feature includes event loop backed by epoll, kqueue, IOCP, event ports. Asynchronous TCP and UDP sockets, Asynchronous DNS resolution, Thread pool, Signal handling and lot more.

nanomsg - High Performance Messaging Library

•    C

---

The nanomsg library is a simple high-performance implementation of several "scalability protocols". These scalability protocols are light-weight messaging protocols which can be used to solve a number of very common messaging patterns, such as request/reply, publish/subscribe, surveyor/respondent, and so forth. These protocols can run over a variety of transports such as TCP, UNIX sockets, and even WebSocket. It aims to make the networking layer fast, scalable, and easy to use.

cpp-netlib - The C++ Network Library Project

•    C++

---

The project aims to build upon the latest C++ standard (currently C++11) to provide easy to use libraries for network programming. We use the latest compiler versions and features with an eye on pushing the boundaries on leveraging what's available in C++. Currently the library contains an HTTP client and server implementation, a stand-alone URI library, a network message framework, and some concurrency tools.

libtelnet - Simple RFC-complient TELNET implementation as a C library

•    C

---

libtelnet provides safe and correct handling of the core TELNET protocol. In addition to the base TELNET protocol, libtelnet also implements the Q method of TELNET option negotiation. libtelnet can be used for writing servers, clients, or proxies.

QuickServer - TCP server framework

•    Java

---

QuickServer is an open source Java library/framework for quick creation of robust and multi-threaded, multi-client TCP server applications. With QuickServer one can just concentrate on just the application logic/protocol on hand. QuickServer provides an abstraction over the ServerSocket, Socket and other network and input output classes and it eases the creation of powerful network servers.

Librecast - Distributed Applications with IPv6 Multicast

•    C

---

Librecast is a project to provide fast, efficient and scalable communication by leveraging IPv6 multicast. Librecast will allow disconnected multicast networks to communicate, enabling multicast applications to have the same reach and reliability as their unicast counterparts, thus making multicast communication a viable option for software developers.
