Rust vs C++: Benchmarking 10Gbps RTSP Packet Forwarding
Compare CPU utilization, memory footprints, and latency jitter between Tokio Rust and Epoll C++ RTSP relay servers.
Need an active live RTSP stream to test this integration?
Generate a free 20-minute authenticated live H.264 video feed with frame counters to test in VLC, OpenCV, or NVR software.
#1Benchmark Summary
Our tests across 1,000 active 1080p RTSP TCP streams showed that both Rust (Tokio) and C++ (epoll) achieve sub-millisecond packet relay times, with Rust providing compile-time memory safety without any measurable throughput penalty.
