FAQ

Just how fast is Quilkin? What sort of performance can I expect?

Our current testing shows that on Quilkin shows that it process packets quite fast!

We won’t be publishing performance benchmarks, as performance will always change depending on the underlying hardware, number of filters, configurations and more.

We highly recommend you run your own load tests on your platform and configuration, matching your production workload and configuration as close as possible.

We are always investigating further performance improvements in upcoming releases, both from an optimisation and observability perspective as well.

Can I integrate Quilkin with C++ code?

Quilkin is also released as a library so it can be integrated with an external codebase as necessary.

Using Rust code inside a C or C++ project mostly consists of two parts.

• Creating a C-friendly API in Rust
• Embedding your Rust project into an external build system

See A little Rust with your C for more information.

Over time, we will be expanding documentation on how to integrate with specific engines if running Quilkin as a separate binary is not an option.

I would like to run Quilkin as a client side proxy on a console? Can I do that?

This is an ongoing discussion, and since console development is protected by non-disclosure agreements, we can’t comment on this directly.

That being said, we have an Unreal Engine for games in circumstances where compiling Rust or providing a separate Quilkin binary as an executable is not an option.
