    KCP is a fast, reliable ARQ protocol for realtime traffic: it trades 10-20% extra bandwidth for 30-40% lower average latency and up to 3x lower maximum latency than TCP.

  7. 10

    go2rtc

    14.4KAlexxIT/go2rtc · Go

    An ultimate camera streaming app: it pulls video from IP cameras and other sources and re-serves it in low-latency formats like WebRTC, HLS and MP4 to browsers and smart home platforms, as a standalone app or embedded into any project.

    virtio-nvgpu

    431nestrilabs/virtio-nvgpu · Rust

    A virtio device that shares one NVIDIA GPU across several KVM virtual machines at near-bare-metal speed, by forwarding kernel-driver ioctls instead of translating graphics APIs. The target use case is headless streaming: the guest renders and encodes on the GPU, and only compressed video leaves.
