## Introduction
Smux ( **S**imple **MU**ltiple**X**ing) is a multiplexing library for Golang. It relies on an underlying connection to provide reliability and ordering, such as TCP or [KCP](https://github.com/xtaci/kcp-go), and provides stream-oriented multiplexing. The original intention of this library is to power the connection management for [kcp-go](https://github.com/xtaci/kcp-go).
## Features
1. ***Token bucket*** controlled receiving, which provides smoother bandwidth graph(see picture below).
2. Session-wide receive buffer, shared among streams, **fully controlled** overall memory usage.
3. Minimized header(8Bytes), maximized payload.
4. Well-tested on millions of devices in [kcptun](https://github.com/xtaci/kcptun).
5. Builtin fair queue traffic shaping.
6. Per-stream sliding window to control congestion.(protocol version 2+).

VALUES FOR LATEST VERSION:
VERSION:
1/2
CMD:
cmdSYN(0)
cmdFIN(1)
cmdPSH(2)
cmdNOP(3)
cmdUPD(4) // only supported on version 2

```
## Usage
```go
func client() {
// Get a TCP connection
conn, err := net.Dial(...)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
// Setup client side of smux
session, err := smux.Client(conn, nil)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
// Open a new stream
stream, err := session.OpenStream()
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
// Stream implements io.ReadWriteCloser
stream.Write([]byte("ping"))
stream.Close()
session.Close()
}
func server() {
// Accept a TCP connection
conn, err := listener.Accept()
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
// Setup server side of smux
session, err := smux.Server(conn, nil)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
// Accept a stream
stream, err := session.AcceptStream()
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
// Listen for a message
buf := make([]byte, 4)
stream.Read(buf)
stream.Close()
session.Close()
}
```
