## What it is
Sokit is a GUI tool written in C++ with Qt for sending, receiving, and transferring TCP and UDP packets. It runs on Windows and Linux and is useful for debugging network protocols.

## Use cases
- send test TCP packets to a server
- listen on a UDP port and inspect incoming datagrams
- debug a custom binary protocol by sending raw bytes
- act as a TCP/UDP proxy to transfer packets between endpoints
- simulate a TCP or UDP server during integration testing
- capture and replay network messages

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight GUI for ad-hoc TCP/UDP packet testing
- you want to manually craft and send raw socket payloads
- you need a simple TCP/UDP proxy or echo tool on Windows or Linux

## When to avoid
- you need protocol-aware inspection like HTTP or MQTT decoding
- you require packet capture at the network level (use Wireshark instead)
- you need automation or scripting of network tests
- you need macOS support
