Top 23 Rust Network programming Projects

  • quiche

    🥧 Savoury implementation of the QUIC transport protocol and HTTP/3

    • Project mention: Nghttp3 1.0.0 – HTTP/3 library written in C | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-10-21

    The title of this post puts emphasis on "written in C", making me wonder when this would ever be a desirable feature, given that more secure implementations are available, and can be integrated into old C projects just as easily.

    No need to rewrite everything from the ground up: https://github.com/cloudflare/quiche#curl

  • actix

    Actor framework for Rust.

    • Project mention: Top 10 Rusty Repositories for you to start your Open Source Journey | dev.to | 2023-12-19

  • MIO

    Metal I/O library for Rust.

    • Project mention: What's the canonical way of doing it in rust? | /r/rust | 2023-10-16

    Was playing around with mio (https://github.com/tokio-rs/mio) (not that mio itself is very important here!) and was trying to implement a simple something that I've done in java before: a Reactor that you can register ReactorClients with that will get callback whenever there are events on the corresponding socket etc.

  • libpnet

    Cross-platform, low level networking using the Rust programming language.

    • Project mention: Packet capture (use PcapPlusPlus in Rust?) | /r/rust | 2023-05-11

    Hey, I'm looking for the best way to do packet capture in Rust. I've looked at both libpnet and pcap crates, and they both seem way less mature and with less functionality than the PcapPlusPlus library, which seems to be the golden suite of packet capture and manipulation.

  • zenoh

    zenoh unifies data in motion, data in-use, data at rest and computations. It carefully blends traditional pub/sub with geo-distributed storages, queries and computations, while retaining a level of time and space efficiency that is well beyond any of the mainstream stacks.
