# aquatic
|
||
|
||
Fast, multi-threaded UDP BitTorrent tracker written in Rust.
|
||
|
||
Aims to implements the [UDP BitTorrent protocol](https://libtorrent.org/udp_tracker_protocol.html), except that it:
|
||
|
||
* Doesn't care about IP addresses sent in announce requests. The packet
|
||
source IP is always used.
|
||
* Doesn't track of the number of torrent downloads (0 is always sent).
|
||
|
||
Supports IPv4 and IPv6.
|
||
|
||
There is currently no support for a info hash black- or whilelist.
|
||
|
||
## Benchmarks

## Trivia
|
||
|
||
The tracker is called aquatic because it thrives under a torrent of bits ;-)
