uTrack

uTrack is a very light weight, fast, multithreaded UDP bittorrent tracker.

features

• UDP announce and scrape
• secure connection ID to prevent IP spoofing
• multithreaded with minimal lock contention
• incremental purging of peers to amortize CPU load
• high packet throughput via libpcap

requirements

utrack requires:

• a C++11 conformant compiler (clang 3.1+ or GCC 4.7 or so)
• BSD sockets
• boost and boost-build

building

run::

b2

on the command line in the utrack root directory.

Optional build options:

+-------------------+--------------------------------------------------+ | option | description | +===================+==================================================+ | pcap=on | Enable libpcap support. This will improve UDP | | | performance by circumventing some of the | | | syscall overhead associated with udp sockets. | +-------------------+--------------------------------------------------+ | pcap=win | Enable libpcap support and use libwinpcap | | | specific extensions. This speeds up both sending | | | and receiving of packets. | +-------------------+--------------------------------------------------+ | pcap=receive-only | Enable libpcap only for receiving packets, use | | | regular sockets for sending replies. | +-------------------+--------------------------------------------------+ | stage | copy the resulting utrack binary to the root dir | +-------------------+--------------------------------------------------+ | stage-test | copy the resulting udp_test binary to the root | | | directory. (The test requires libpcap) | +-------------------+--------------------------------------------------+
