Open Source C Networking Software

MsQuic is a Microsoft implementation of the IETF QUIC protocol. It is cross-platform, written in C and designed to be a general-purpose QUIC library. MsQuic also has C++ API wrapper classes and exposes interop layers for both Rust and C#. QUIC has many benefits when compared to existing "TLS over TCP" scenarios. MsQuic has several features that differentiate it from other QUIC implementations. Optimized for client and server. Optimized for maximal throughput and minimal latency. Asynchronous IO. Receive side scaling (RSS) support. UDP send and receive coalescing support. All packets are encrypted and handshake is authenticated with TLS 1.3. Parallel streams of (reliable and unreliable) application data. Exchange application data in the first round trip (0-RTT). Improved congestion control and loss recovery. Survives a change in the clients IP address or port. Stateless load balancing.

DIET-PC (DIskless Embedded Technology Personal Computer) is a software kitset enabling IT professionals to build an open source GUI appliance based on commodity x86 (PC), PowerPC (Mac) or ARM (handheld) hardware, using an embedded Linux methodology.

A software toolkit for using the EPCglobal Low Level Reader Protocol (LLRP) to communicate with conforming RFID readers.

VTD-XML is the next generation XML parser/indexer/editor/slicer/assembler/xpath-engine that goes beyond DOM, SAX and PULL in performance, memory usage, and ease of use.

The WendzelNNTPd is a IPv6-ready NNTP usenet-server with the main goal to be as easy to use as possible. It is portable (Linux/*BSD/*nix), supports AUTHINFO authentication, contains ACL as well as role based ACL and supports invisible newsgroups. It currently supports MySQL and SQLite backends.

this tool tries to repair your broken pcap and pcapng files by fixing the global header respectively packet blocks and recovering the packets by searching und guessing the packet headers or blocks

OpenLLDP is an Open Source implementation of the IEEE standard 802.1AB Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP). The OpenLLDP project aims to provide a comprehensive implementation of IEEE 802.1AB to help foster adoption of the LLDP protocol.

Synchronize bluetooth mobile phone with thunderbird, lightning, sunbird, outlook etc.

viewstate is a decoder and encoder for ASP .Net viewstate data. It supports the different viewstate data formats and can extract viewstate data direct from web pages. viewstate will also show any hash applied to the viewstate data.

The project is an equivalent of a well known systems administration tool "cfengine". The aim of the project is to provide a safer and extensible framework for distributed system configuration management, using standard tools only.

A LDAP based cluster control system that allows the deployment and administration of heterogeneous clusters. An extremely generic framework designed to be extended as required by administrators for each cluster.

FRRouting (FRR) is a free and open-source Internet routing protocol suite for Linux and Unix platforms. It implements BGP, OSPF, RIP, IS-IS, PIM, LDP, BFD, Babel, PBR, OpenFabric and VRRP, with alpha support for EIGRP and NHRP. FRR’s seamless integration with native Linux/Unix IP networking stacks makes it a general-purpose routing stack applicable to a wide variety of use cases including connecting hosts/VMs/containers to the network, advertising network services, LAN switching and routing Internet access routers, and Internet peering. FRR has its roots in the Quagga project. In fact, it was started by many long-time Quagga developers who combined their efforts to improve on Quagga’s well-established foundation in order to create the best routing protocol stack available. We invite you to participate in the FRRouting community and help shape the future of networking.

A simple and incredibly powerful tool for scripting and fuzzing arbitrary network protocols written using the Chicken Scheme-to-C compiler.

Libdexter is a library for implementing networked, plugin-based services. It provides facilities to load and discover services and to instantiate them locally or as network-based objects that communicate with peer objects running on Libdexter servers

PepperSpot is a captive portal or wireless LAN access point controller which support the IPv6 protocol. It supports web based login and it supports Wireless Protected Access (WPA). Authentication is handled by your favorite radius server (over IPv4/IPv6)

really simple (minimal) implemention for client only igd from upnp, contains just enough to allow you to open/delete ports on a upnp router. uses libcurl, libxml2 and libxslt

The nanomsg library is a simple high-performance implementation of several "scalability protocols". These scalability protocols are lightweight messaging protocols that can be used to solve a number of very common messaging patterns, such as request/reply, publish/subscribe, surveyor/respondent, and so forth. These protocols can run over a variety of transports such as TCP, UNIX sockets, and even WebSocket. This pattern is useful for solving producer/consumer problems, including load-balancing. Messages flow from the push side to the pull side. If multiple peers are connected, the pattern attempts to distribute fairly. nanomsg is a socket library that provides several common communication patterns. It aims to make the networking layer fast, scalable, and easy to use. Implemented in C, it works on a wide range of operating systems with no further dependencies. The communication patterns, also called "scalability protocols", are basic blocks for building distributed systems.
