OpenSpeedy is a network acceleration utility designed to optimize data transmission between applications and remote servers. It functions as a congestion control middleware and traffic processing engine, operating within the kernel space to minimize latency and reduce CPU overhead during packet delivery.
The project distinguishes itself through its ability to aggregate multiple network interfaces into a single logical stream, enhancing bandwidth and link reliability. It employs custom transport protocols that bypass head-of-line blocking and utilizes forward error correction to reconstruct lost packets locally. By wrapping data in encrypted tunnels and dynamically adjusting transmission rates based on real-time telemetry, it maintains stable connectivity across unstable or high-latency wide area networks.
The software provides a comprehensive suite of traffic management capabilities, including TCP acceleration and multipath tunneling gateways. These tools work to maximize throughput and ensure consistent performance for bandwidth-intensive applications and long-distance data transfers.
