Yamux

Yamux (Yet another Multiplexer) is a multiplexing library for Golang. It relies on an underlying connection to provide reliability and ordering, such as TCP or Unix domain sockets, and provides stream-oriented multiplexing. It is inspired by SPDY but is not interoperable with it.

Yamux features include:

• Bi-directional streams
  • Streams can be opened by either client or server
  • Useful for NAT traversal
  • Server-side push support
• Flow control
  • Avoid starvation
  • Back-pressure to prevent overwhelming a receiver
• Keep Alives
  • Enables persistent connections over a load balancer
• Efficient
  • Enables thousands of logical streams with low overhead

Documentation

For complete documentation, see the associated Godoc.

Specification

The full specification for Yamux is provided in the spec.md file. It can be used as a guide to implementors of interoperable libraries.

Usage

Using Yamux is remarkably simple:

func client() {
    // Get a TCP connection
    conn, err := net.Dial(...)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    // Setup client side of yamux
    session, err := yamux.Client(conn, nil)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    // Open a new stream
    stream, err := session.Open()
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    // Stream implements net.Conn
    stream.Write([]byte("ping"))
}

func server() {
    // Accept a TCP connection
    conn, err := listener.Accept()
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    // Setup server side of yamux
    session, err := yamux.Server(conn, nil)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    // Accept a stream
    stream, err := session.Accept()
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    // Listen for a message
    buf := make([]byte, 4)
    stream.Read(buf)
}

Functions

func VerifyConfig

func VerifyConfig(config *Config) error

VerifyConfig is used to verify the sanity of configuration

Types

type Config

type Config struct {
	// AcceptBacklog is used to limit how many streams may be
	// waiting an accept.
	AcceptBacklog int

	// EnableKeepalive is used to do a period keep alive
	// messages using a ping.
	EnableKeepAlive bool

	// KeepAliveInterval is how often to perform the keep alive
	KeepAliveInterval time.Duration

	// MaxStreamWindowSize is used to control the maximum
	// window size that we allow for a stream.
	MaxStreamWindowSize uint32

	// LogOutput is used to control the log destination
	LogOutput io.Writer
}

Config is used to tune the Yamux session

func DefaultConfig

func DefaultConfig() *Config

DefaultConfig is used to return a default configuration

type Session

type Session struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Session is used to wrap a reliable ordered connection and to multiplex it into multiple streams.

func Client

func Client(conn io.ReadWriteCloser, config *Config) (*Session, error)

Client is used to initialize a new client-side connection. There must be at most one client-side connection.
