DotNetty is a C# port of the Netty project, an asynchronous event-driven network application framework. It enables rapid development of maintainable, high-performance protocol servers and clients on .NET.

Use cases

  • build a custom TCP protocol server in C#
  • write high-performance async network clients on .NET
  • implement protocol servers and clients similar to Netty
  • handle many concurrent socket connections in .NET
  • build an RPC or messaging transport layer in C#

When to choose

  • you need Netty-style event-driven networking in a .NET application
  • you are building custom binary protocols or high-throughput socket services in C#

When to avoid

  • you only need simple HTTP clients or servers, where ASP.NET Core or HttpClient suffice
  • you need the latest Netty features or a very actively developed ecosystem
