About:
The Reliable Forwarder Daemon (rfd) does TCP forwarding by listening on a user-defined port and forwarding incoming connections transparently through a second rfd server on a remote machine. Ultra reliable forwarding is achieved using a zero overhead reconnect protocol. Reconnections happen periodically if no data is read from the remote machine due to errors. Reconnections are transparent to the service being forwarded. This is useful for POP/IMAP connections, which will survive a modem failure. The server can handle an arbitrary large number of connections, but no forking or threading is ever done. rfd handles multiple simultaneous connections efficiently without blocking.
