Yamux is a Go library for stream-oriented connection multiplexing over reliable transports like TCP or Unix domain sockets. It enables thousands of low-overhead bidirectional logical streams with flow control, keep-alives, and server-side push.
Use cases
- multiplex many logical streams over a single TCP connection
- build RPC or tunneling protocols in Go
- keep persistent connections alive through load balancers
- implement NAT traversal with bidirectional streams
- add back-pressure and flow control to stream handling
When to choose
- you need efficient stream multiplexing in a Go application
- you want a simple net.Conn-compatible multiplexer with low overhead
- you need server-initiated streams or push over one connection
When to avoid
- you need interoperability with SPDY or HTTP/2
- you are not using Go
- you need multiplexing over unreliable transports without built-in reliability
