This module provides minimal raw transport networking for Lyng scripts. It is implemented in `lyngio` and backed by Ktor sockets on the JVM and Linux Native, and by Node networking APIs on JS/Node runtimes.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Note:** `lyngio` is a separate library module. It must be explicitly added as a dependency to your host application and initialized in your Lyng scopes.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> **Important native platform limit:** current native TCP/UDP support is backed by a selector with a per-process file descriptor ceiling. On Linux/macOS native targets this makes high-connection-count servers and same-process load tests unsuitable once the process approaches that limit.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> **Recommendation:** for serious HTTP/TCP servers, prefer the JVM target today. On native targets, keep concurrency bounded, batch local load tests in waves, and use multiple worker processes behind a reverse proxy if you need more throughput before the backend is reworked.

> **Need this fixed?** Please open or upvote an issue at <https://github.com/sergeych/lyng/issues> so native high-concurrency networking can be prioritized.

`lyngio` is a separate library that extends the Lyng core (`lynglib`) with powerful, multiplatform, and secure I/O capabilities.
|
||||
|
||||
> **Important native networking limit:** `lyng.io.net` on current native targets is suitable for modest workloads, local tools, and test servers, but not yet for high-connection-count production servers. For serious HTTP/TCP serving, prefer the JVM target for now. If native high-concurrency networking matters for your use case, please open or upvote an issue at <https://github.com/sergeych/lyng/issues>.

#### Why a separate module?
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Security:** I/O and process execution are sensitive operations. By keeping them in a separate module, we ensure that the Lyng core remains 100% safe by default. You only enable what you explicitly need.
