TSF Network Framework

1. Design Goals

High-Performance Transmission

• High Throughput: Optimized for high-volume data transmission needs, supporting high throughput.
• Low Latency: Optimized for low-latency communication, suitable for real-time or near-real-time applications.

Flexibility

• Multiple Protocols Support: Supports various network communication protocols such as HTTP, HTTPS, WebSocket, etc., meeting the needs of different scenarios.
• Service Discovery Mechanism: Supports service discovery mechanisms like DNS, Consul, Etcd, etc., facilitating management and location of services in distributed environments.

Ease of Integration

• Convenient API Interfaces: Provides rich API interfaces, making it easy for developers to integrate into existing systems.
• Documentation and Examples: Offers detailed documentation and sample code to help developers get started quickly.

2. Key Features

Optimized Network Transport Layer

• Enhanced Transmission Efficiency: Optimizes the underlying network transport layer to improve transmission efficiency.
• Adaptive Network Conditions: Supports dynamic adjustment of transmission strategies based on current network conditions, adapting to different network environments.

TLS Support

• Built-in Encryption: Built-in support for TLS to ensure the security of data transmission.
• Certificate Management: Supports certificate installation, updates, and unloading, simplifying certificate maintenance.

Concurrency Handling Capability

• Utilization of Go's Concurrency Features: Utilizes Go language features such as goroutines and channels to achieve efficient concurrency handling.
• Load Balancing: Supports load balancing mechanisms to ensure stability under high-concurrency scenarios.

3. Components and Modules

Transport Layer

• Connection Management: Responsible for establishing and managing network connections.
• Data Transmission: Responsible for sending and receiving data, supporting reliable data transmission mechanisms.
• Heartbeat Mechanism: Maintains the active state of long-lived connections to ensure their validity.

Security Layer

• Encryption Mechanism: Provides data encryption functions to protect data during transmission.
• Authentication Mechanism: Supports mutual authentication to ensure the identity of both communicating parties.
• Certificate Management: Supports installation, updates, and unloading of certificates.

Data Layer

• Data Compression: Supports data compression to reduce the amount of transmitted data and improve transmission efficiency.
• Data Merging Transmission: Supports data merging transmission mechanisms to reduce the number of network requests and lower network overhead.
