Top 23 C Networking Projects
-
libcurl
A command line tool and library for transferring data with URL syntax, supporting DICT, FILE, FTP, FTPS, GOPHER, GOPHERS, HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, IMAPS, LDAP, LDAPS, MQTT, POP3, POP3S, RTMP, RTMPS, RTSP, SCP, SFTP, SMB, SMBS, SMTP, SMTPS, TELNET and TFTP. libcurl offers a myriad of powerful features
libcurl is pretty much the gold standard here.
-
Node uses Libuv as the event loop implementation. To use a Node asynchronous API, you pass a callback function as an argument to that API function, and during the event loop, your callback is executed.
-
Scout APM
Scout APM: A developer's best friend. Try free for 14-days. Scout APM uses tracing logic that ties bottlenecks to source code so you know the exact line of code causing performance issues and can get back to building a great product faster.

Project mention: How feasible is this idea? Creating a battery run audio transmitter and receiver over TCP/IP | reddit.com/r/esp8266 | 2021-05-30
I'd consider KCP protocol over TCP, it has 30-40% lower latency at the expense of 20% higher bandwidth.

https://mongoose.ws/ is pretty simple to set up
-
cjdns
An encrypted IPv6 network using public-key cryptography for address allocation and a distributed hash table for routing.
I was really excited for a moment, because I thought this was cjdns https://github.com/cjdelisle/cjdns.

Libwebsockets a powerful and lightweight pure C library\ (48 comments)

cute_headers
Collection of cross-platform one-file C/C++ libraries with no dependencies, primarily used for games
The verdict for indie developers (not using Unity/Unreal) seems: just bite the bullet and buy FMOD (or Wwise or any of the popular proprietary audio engies).
I was actually searching for a good open-source audio library to use, and found out that my options aren't that good. SoLoud is a pain in the ass to install and integrate into an existing codebase, and OpenAL doesn't have any good implementations available (either proprietary or LGPL). I'm now just using a simple single-header audio library in cute_headers (https://github.com/RandyGaul/cute_headers/blob/master/cute_s...), but will probably switch to MiniAudio once the high-level API is finished (https://github.com/mackron/miniaudio/issues/196)

If you want to learn more about networking for game in C++, Glenn Fiedler has great articles from the basics to advanced topics: https://www.gafferongames.com/ He also created a library for client-server networking: https://github.com/networkprotocol/netcode (He has a big name in networking, totally recommend reading his articles if you want to learn more about networking)

Right, so it turns out that FRR (the routing plugin for opnsense) doesn't support multiple address familys in ospfv3. It is down as a feature request here and is closed as issue #303.

libonion - HTTP server library, designed to be easy to use. Apache-2.0
-
facil.io - Mini-framework for web applications. Includes a fast HTTP and Websocket server, and also supports custom protocols. MIT
-
https://github.com/miniupnp/miniupnp/issues/413 is closed. So I’m not sure if the problem exists there still or where?

shadow
Shadow is a discrete-event network simulator that directly executes real application code, enabling you to simulate distributed systems with thousands of network-connected processes in realistic and scalable private network experiments using your laptop, desktop, or server running Linux. (by shadow)
Project mention: Shadow Simlulator – run real applications over a simulated Internet topology | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-04-19For anyone interested in following current development on Shadow, we've been publishing a series of updates. Most recent: https://github.com/shadow/shadow/discussions/1274
The previous update has links back to the whole series; I stopped including it in the most-recent update since it was getting a bit cumbersome: https://github.com/shadow/shadow/discussions/1060

netsniff-ng - Swiss army knife for network sniffing.
-
felix
Project Calico's per-host agent Felix, responsible for programming routes and security policy.
Project mention: Pod-to-pod encryption with Calico and Wireguard - where can I read up on this? | reddit.com/r/WireGuard | 2021-10-05Yes, inter-node–the definitive source is in the felix repo, e.g., https://github.com/projectcalico/felix/blob/master/wireguard/wireguard.go

nope.c
WAFer is a C language-based software platform for scalable server-side and networking applications. Think node.js for C programmers.
