RustTCP

RustTCP is a minimalist implementation of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) in Rust, developed in compliance with RFC 793.

Getting Started

To run the server example in this repository, you need a working TUN driver on a Linux or macOS machine.

Creating the required TUN interface requires root privileges or, on Linux hosts only, the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability to be set in advance. For more information about Linux capabilities, see the capabilities man page.

Run the server example using a TUN interface with an IPv4 address of 10.0.0.1, the host's IPv4 address 10.0.0.2, and a listening TCP port of 8888 by executing the following command:

cargo run --example server -- 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2 8888

The command runs the RustTCP server and listen to port 8888 for an incoming TCP connection.
