About ldcsaa/HP-Socket
HP-Socket is a high performance network framework for TCP, UDP, and HTTP communication. It provides three component types: Server based on IOCP/EPOLL communication model with efficient memory management via memory pool and private heap for large-scale concurrent scenarios; Agent which is a multi-client component using the same server architecture to handle many simultaneous connections; and Client based on Event-Select/POLL model for small-scale client scenarios. The framework includes comprehensive documentation including a development guide, class diagrams, and SSL/HTTP diagrams. Examples are provided in C++ and C. Supports Windows, Linux, and MacOS.
