Efficient reliable UDP unicast, UDP multicast, and IPC message transport. Java, C, and C++ clients are available in this

repository, and a [.NET client](https://github.com/AdaptiveConsulting/Aeron.NET) is available. All

clients can exchange messages across machines, or on the same machine via IPC, very efficiently. Message streams can be

recorded by the [Archive](https://github.com/real-logic/aeron/tree/master/aeron-archive) module to persistent storage

for later, or real-time, replay. Aeron [Cluster](https://github.com/real-logic/aeron/tree/master/aeron-cluster)

provides support for fault-tolerant services as replicated state machines based on the

[Raft](https://raft.github.io/) consensus algorithm.



Performance is the key focus. A design goal for Aeron is to be the highest throughput with the lowest and most

predictable latency of any messaging system. Aeron integrates with

[Simple Binary Encoding (SBE)](https://github.com/real-logic/simple-binary-encoding) for the best possible message

encoding and decoding performance. Many of the data structures used in the creation of Aeron have been factored out to

the [Agrona](https://github.com/real-logic/agrona) project.

We provide a range of services including:

* Training for development and operations with Aeron and Aeron Cluster.

* Consulting, for example if you’re not sure how to design your system or need help tuning your system.

* We also offer a number of proprietary enhancements on top of Aeron and Aeron Cluster such as kernel bypass (ef_vi, AWS DPDK, and VMA) for increased performance, and blazing fast encryption with ATS.

* If you’re building a new trading system, we have experienced Aeron developers who can help.
