UPDATE: MonaServer is no longer maintained, MonaServer2 is the new official version with a lot of new features.

Overview

MonaServer starts with the idea that protocols essentially serve the same aims :

  • pull data (request + response),
  • push data (server -> client or client -> server),
  • read/write file (VOD and RECORDING),
  • AND communication channel between clients (P2P or publish/play live).

And with this objective we are proud to give you a generic alternative to existing communication servers with :

  • The powerful LuaJIT compiler combined in a useful lua API to write server applications,
  • NoSQL database management system,
  • RTMFP Protocol, which provide P2P channels, UDP reliable and non-reliable communication and many other great features,
  • And all of this developed keeping in mind the 5 following notions: speed, light weight, cross-platform, scalable and elegant C++11 code.

Mona currently supports the following protocols:

  • RTMFP, RTMP, RTMPE,
  • HTTP (with JSON-RPC and XML-RPC), Websocket.

We expect to add many other protocols, such as WebRTC, HLS, IPTV, but please remember that our development is open source so contributions are greatly appreciated: $, .
