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)
