Wissance.Hydra 1.0.0

Hydra

Hydra is a high-performance, multi-channel TCP server written on C#. It is designed to handle a massive number of concurrent client connections—tested successfully with up to 50,000 simultaneous clients. Its key feature is the ability to manage multiple listening sockets (server sockets) within a single server instance, making it a true multi-channel communication hub.

🚀 Key Features

• Massive Scalability: Efficiently handles tens of thousands of concurrent TCP client connections.
• Multi-Channel Architecture: Supports creating and managing multiple independent server endpoints (sockets) from a single server process.
• High Performance: Built with asynchronous I/O and optimized for minimal resource consumption under heavy load.
• Reliability: Designed for stability, ensuring continuous operation even with a large number of connected clients.
• **Allows to protect channel with TLS (X509 certificates) for preventing data from being captured by sniffer

🖥️ Usage

Example starting TCP-server without TLS:

// 1. Create Server cofifuration
ServerChannelConfiguration mainInsecureChannel = new ServerChannelConfiguration()
{
    IpAddress = "127.0.0.1",
    Port = 23456,
    IsSecure = false
};

ITcpServer server = new MultiChannelTcpServer(new[] { mainInsecureChannel }, new NullLoggerFactory(), null, null);

// Example Echo server with data reverse
server.AssignHandler( async (d, c) =>
{
    string msg = System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetString(d);
    return d.Reverse().ToArray();
                
});
OperationResult startResult  = await server.StartAsync();
// ...
OperationResult stopResult = await server.StopAsync();

🧪 Performance & Testing

Hydra has been load-tested to handle up to 50000 concurrent client connections across its channels. Performance metrics depend on hardware, network configuration, and the workload (e.g., message frequency, size).

📈 Plans

1. Add Multicahnnel UDP
2. Make server that allow to combine TCP and UDP
3. Measure performance values with 50000 of clients
