tunstack

Small userspace TCP/IP stack based on TUN devices, implements:

• Handshake
• Sliding window
• Out-of-order packet reassembly
• Retransmissions (including RTO calculation)
• Socket close & reset
• Respect MSS
• Nagle's algorithm
• SWS avoidance
• Zero-Window probes
• Congestion control
• SACK
• Timestamps

Usage

Build the project using cargo, setup iptables rules to allow the TUN interface to handle traffic, and run it!

$ cargo build
# ./scripts/iptables_rules.sh
# ./target/debug/tunstack
