Transports

Built-in Transports

These transports are included with Mirror.
  • ​KCP UDP transport based on kcp.c, line-by-line translation to C#
  • ​Telepathy - Simple, message based, MMO Scale TCP networking in C#. And no magic.
  • ​Simple Web Sockets - WebGL transport layer for Mirror that target browser clients.
  • ​Multiplexer - Bridging transport to allow a server to handle clients on different transports concurrently, for example desktop clients using Telepathy together with WebGL clients using Websockets.
  • ​Latency Simulation - Middleman transport to test non-ideal network conditions

Additional Transports

These transports are maintained by third parties outside of Mirror.
  • ​Monke - plug and play encrypted middleman transport layer for mirror.
  • ​Ignorance - reliable and unreliable sequenced UDP transport based on ENet.
  • ​LiteNetLibTransport - UDP transport based on LiteNetLib.

Relay Transports

These transports are maintained by third parties and use relay infrastructure to connect clients to servers behind firewalls / NAT.

Changing Transports

Changing transports is very easy and only requires a few steps:
  • Go to the game object that has the Network Manager component
  • Add another transport script via the Add Component button
  • Drag the transport script to the "Transport" field in the Network Manager
  • Remove the old transport script (optional)
If you have connection issues with a transport that requires port forwarding, make sure to port forward the correct protocol (TCP / UDP).
