A userspace TCP/IP stack for Linux implemented in C using TUN/TAP devices, with an accompanying blog series explaining Ethernet, ARP, IPv4, ICMP, and TCP. It is primarily an educational project for learning network internals and the Linux socket API.
Use cases
- learn how a TCP/IP stack works by reading C code
- implement a userspace TCP stack with TUN/TAP
- study TCP handshake and retransmission logic
- understand the Linux socket API from the inside
- experiment with ARP, IPv4, and ICMP in userspace
When to choose
- you want to learn TCP/IP and Linux network programming hands-on
- you need a small readable reference implementation of a TCP stack
- you want to follow a guided blog series while coding
When to avoid
- you need a production-grade network stack
- you need non-Linux platform support
- you need active development or long-term maintenance
