stud is a network proxy that terminates TLS/SSL connections and forwards the unencrypted traffic to some backend. It's designed to handle 10s of thousands of connections efficiently on multicore machines.
It follows a process-per-core model; a parent process spawns N children who each accept() on

By default, stud has an overhead of ~200KB per connection--it preallocates some buffer space for data in flight between frontend and backend. [Less]
