mTCP
A highly scalable user-level TCP stack designed for multicore systems, enabling high-performance network applications.
What is mTCP?
mTCP is a user-level TCP stack designed to achieve high scalability on multicore systems. It bypasses the kernel's network stack to reduce overhead and improve packet processing performance. The project solves the problem of kernel bottlenecks in high-speed networking applications by providing a portable, efficient alternative.
Network engineers and developers building high-performance servers, network function virtualization (NFV) applications, or any system requiring extreme TCP connection scalability and low latency.
Developers choose mTCP for its proven multicore scalability, integration with multiple high-speed I/O engines like DPDK, and the ability to fine-tune network performance without kernel modifications.
