utp-native
Native Node.js bindings for libutp, enabling uTP (Micro Transport Protocol) networking.
What is utp-native?
utp-native is a Node.js native addon that provides bindings to libutp, the library implementing the uTP (Micro Transport Protocol). It allows Node.js applications to use uTP for efficient, congestion-controlled data transfer over UDP, which is particularly useful in peer-to-peer and low-latency networking scenarios. The module offers APIs that mimic Node's net and dgram modules, making it accessible for developers familiar with standard networking in Node.
Node.js developers building peer-to-peer applications, networking tools, or any system requiring efficient UDP-based transport with congestion control, such as BitTorrent clients or real-time data streaming services.
Developers choose utp-native for its native performance, direct integration with libutp, and flexible APIs that support both high-level and low-level networking patterns, enabling efficient uTP implementation without leaving the Node.js environment.
