peerdiscovery
A pure-Go library for cross-platform local peer discovery using UDP multicast.
What is peerdiscovery?
Peerdiscovery is a pure-Go library for local peer discovery using UDP multicast. It allows applications running on the same network to automatically find each other without manual configuration. The library was created to solve reliability issues in existing peer discovery solutions for projects like croc.
Go developers building distributed applications, peer-to-peer tools, or local network services that need automatic device discovery.
It offers a cross-platform, thread-safe implementation with no external dependencies, making it easier to integrate than lower-level networking code or platform-specific alternatives.
