Introduction

kcp-go is a Production-Grade Reliable-UDP library for golang.

This library intents to provide a smooth, resilient, ordered, error-checked and anonymous delivery of streams over UDP packets, it has been battle-tested with opensource project kcptun. Millions of devices(from low-end MIPS routers to high-end servers) have deployed kcp-go powered program in a variety of forms like online games, live broadcasting, file synchronization and network acceleration.

Lastest Release

Features

  2. Cache friendly and Memory optimized design, offers extremely High Performance core.
  3. Handles >5K concurrent connections on a single commodity server.
  4. Compatible with net.Conn and net.Listener, a drop-in replacement for net.TCPConn.
  5. FEC(Forward Error Correction) Support with Reed-Solomon Codes
  6. Packet level encryption support with AES, TEA, 3DES, Blowfish, Cast5, Salsa20, etc. in CFB mode, which generates completely anonymous packet.

Key Design Considerations

  1. slice vs. container/list

kcp.flush() loops through the send queue for retransmission checking for every 20ms(interval).

I've wrote a benchmark for comparing sequential loop through slice and container/list here:

https://github.com/xtaci/notes/blob/master/golang/benchmark2/cachemiss_test.go

BenchmarkLoopSlice-4   	2000000000	         0.39 ns/op
BenchmarkLoopList-4    	100000000	        54.6 ns/op

List structure introduces heavy cache misses compared to slice which owns better locality, 5000 connections with 32 window size and 20ms interval will cost 6us/0.03%(cpu) using slice, and 8.7ms/43.5%(cpu) for list for each kcp.flush().

  1. Timing accuracy vs. syscall clock_gettime

Timing is critical to RTT estimator, inaccurate timing leads to false retransmissions in KCP, but calling time.Now() costs 42 cycles(10.5ns on 4GHz CPU, 15.6ns on my MacBook Pro 2.7GHz).

The benchmark for time.Now() lies here:

https://github.com/xtaci/notes/blob/master/golang/benchmark2/syscall_test.go

BenchmarkNow-4         	100000000	        15.6 ns/op

In kcp-go, after each kcp.output() function call, current clock time will be updated upon return, and for a single kcp.flush() operation, current time will be queried from system once. For most of the time, 5000 connections costs 5000 * 15.6ns = 78us(a fixed cost while no packet needs to be sent), as for 10MB/s data transfering with 1400 MTU, kcp.output() will be called around 7500 times and costs 117us for time.Now() in every second.

Connection Termination

Control messages like SYN/FIN/RST in TCP are not defined in KCP, you need some keepalive/heartbeat mechanism in the application-level. A real world example is to use some multiplexing protocol over session, such as smux(with embedded keepalive mechanism), see kcptun for example.

FAQ

Q: I'm handling >5K connections on my server, the CPU utilization is so high.

A: A standalone agent or gate server for running kcp-go is suggested, not only for CPU utilization, but also important to the precision of RTT measurements(timing) which indirectly affects retransmission. By increasing update interval with SetNoDelay like conn.SetNoDelay(1, 40, 1, 1) will dramatically reduce system load, but lower the performance.
