Muduo is a multithreaded C++11 network library based on the reactor pattern, providing event-driven TCP networking for Linux servers. It uses non-blocking I/O with epoll and one-loop-per-thread concurrency, and is widely used as a reference for learning network programming.

Use cases

• build a high-performance TCP server in C++ on Linux
• learn reactor-pattern network programming
• write an event-driven multithreaded server
• handle many concurrent socket connections with epoll
• implement custom application protocols over TCP
• study a well-known C++ network library codebase

When to choose

• you need a proven, readable C++ networking library for Linux servers
• you want one-loop-per-thread multithreaded I/O without manual epoll plumbing
• you are learning how production network libraries are designed

When to avoid

• you need cross-platform support beyond Linux
• you want an HTTP framework or batteries-included web server rather than a raw networking library
• your project requires modern C++ beyond C++11 or a permissively licensed dependency (license is custom BSD-style)
