fast lossless UDP protocol

[joshuaar]

I'm not sure where you guys are at regarding your UDP protocol, but I thought I'd leave this here in case anybody is interested. I've used it before with hole punching and it works quite well.

the novinet/maidsafe guys have for many years their formerly maidsafe-dht called libary that does exactly these things. by now its renamed to RUDP (reliable udp), there is also my issue/question over there where I hinted these things: https://github.com/irungentoo/ProjectTox-Core/issues/560

have fun.

Wow this is great I had no idea this existed.

There is now an upcoming "IETF Internet Standard" for fast loss-less UDP transfers: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ppsp-peer-protocol/ This specifically supports serverless NAT hole punching (beyond mere STUN/TURN).

My research team created this UDP transfer engine [3 years of work]: https://github.com/tribler/libswift Works also on Android and other embedded devices.

The secure connection stuff and lossless UDP might be replaced in the future by http://curvecp.org/ (if they ever finish writing the implementation.)

@synctext Hello. One question about that, is there a plain C implementation out there?

There's also Google's QUIC.
