fast UDP bittorrent tracker

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)
