Features

  • Multiple channels over a single TCP/WebSocket/any stream connection
  • Credit-based backpressure for flow control
  • Priority queuing - higher priority frames sent first
  • Auto-reconnection with channel state restoration
  • Native AOT compatible - no reflection in core
  • Modern .NET - targets .NET 8, 9, and 10

Quick Start

dotnet add package NetConduit       # Core
dotnet add package NetConduit.Tcp   # TCP transport

Optional transports:

dotnet add package NetConduit.WebSocket  # WebSocket
dotnet add package NetConduit.Udp        # UDP with reliability
dotnet add package NetConduit.Ipc        # Named pipes / Unix sockets
dotnet add package NetConduit.Quic       # QUIC (.NET 9+)
