# UDPspeeder
A Tunnel which Improves your Network Quality on a High-latency Lossy Link by using Forward Error Correction.
When used alone, UDPspeeder improves only UDP connection. Nevertheless, if you used UDPspeeder + any UDP-based VPN together,
you can improve any traffic(include TCP/UDP/ICMP), currently OpenVPN/L2TP/ShadowVPN are confirmed to be supported。

Assume your local network to your server is lossy. Just establish a VPN connection to your server with UDPspeeder + any UDP-based VPN, access your server via this VPN connection, then your connection quality will be significantly improved. With well-tuned parameters , you can easily reduce IP or UDP/ICMP packet-loss-rate to less than 0.01% . Besides reducing packet-loss-rate, UDPspeeder can also significantly improve your TCP latency and TCP single-thread download speed.

# Efficacy
tested on a link with 100ms latency and 10% packet loss at both direction
### Ping Packet Loss

### SCP Copy Speed

# Supported Platforms
Linux host (including desktop Linux,Android phone/tablet, OpenWRT router, or Raspberry PI).
For Windows and MacOS You can run UDPspeeder inside [this](https://github.com/wangyu-/udp2raw-tunnel/releases/download/20171108.0/lede-17.01.2-x86_virtual_machine_image.zip) 7.5mb virtual machine image.
# How does it work
UDPspeeder uses FEC(Forward Error Correction) to reduce packet loss rate, at the cost of addtional bandwidth. The algorithm for FEC is called Reed-Solomon.

### Reed-Solomon
`
In coding theory, the ReedSolomon code belongs to the class of non-binary cyclic error-correcting codes. The ReedSolomon code is based on univariate polynomials over finite fields.
`
`
It is able to detect and correct multiple symbol errors. By adding t check symbols to the data, a ReedSolomon code can detect any combination of up to t erroneous symbols, or correct up to ⌊t/2⌋ symbols. As an erasure code, it can correct up to t known erasures, or it can detect and correct combinations of errors and erasures. ReedSolomon codes are also suitable as multiple-burst bit-error correcting codes, since a sequence of b + 1 consecutive bit errors can affect at most two symbols of size b. The choice of t is up to the designer of the code, and may be selected within wide limits.

# Getting Started
### Installing
Download binary release from https://github.com/wangyu-/UDPspeeder/releases
### Running (improves UDP traffic only)
Assume your server ip is 44.55.66.77, you have a service listening on udp port 7777.
```bash
# Run at server side:
./speederv2 -s -l0.0.0.0:4096 -r 127.0.0.1:7777 -f20:10 -k "passwd"
# Run at client side
./speederv2 -c -l0.0.0.0:3333 -r44.55.66.77:4096 -f20:10 -k "passwd"
```
Now connecting to UDP port 3333 at the client side is equivalent to connecting to port 7777 at the server side, and the connection has been boosted by UDPspeeder.
##### Note
`-f20:10` means sending 10 redundant packets for every 20 original packets.
`-k` enables simple XOR encryption
# Improves all traffic with OpenVPN + UDPspeeder
