Built this after years watching post-production studios pay $10k+/year for Aspera/Signiant to move large files. Keryx supports S3, P2P (with NAT traversal), and relay transfers. ML model picks the best strategy based on network conditions, RTT, and file type in real-time. Recent test: 66.8GB Athens→LA in 11 minutes (102.82 MB/s sustained). Production files - BRAW, EXR, MOV sequences. Built in Rust. Free CLI available at https://netviper.gr/keryx/download/ Technical bits: adaptive chunking, STUN/TURN for NAT hole punching, concurrent stream management, strategy selection without overfitting. Happy to discuss the architecture or answer questions. Free CLI: https://netviper.gr/keryx/download/

Looks promising! I have a project in the summer that is collecting various data (lidar, drone images for photogrammetry etc) in a remote area and I will definetly try this out. The idea is to sync files up as soon as possible via 4/5G and Starlink using BondiX. Have you considered supporting multiple uplinks/bonding in Keryx?

Great use case! Remote data collection with mixed uplinks is exactly the kind of scenario where intelligent routing matters. Currently, Keryx doesn't natively support multi-uplink bonding at the application layer, it relies on the OS routing table and picks the best available route. However, if BondiX is presenting the bonded connection as a single virtual interface to the OS, Keryx should work transparently over it. We've tested over various network types (fibre, cable, 5G, Starlink, etc individually) and the ML strategy selection adapts well to changing conditions. Multi-uplink support at the Keryx level is on the roadmap - essentially treating multiple paths as independent channels and doing our own aggregation/failover. The transport layer we're using makes this technically feasible. For your summer project, my suggestion would be:

Test with BondiX doing the bonding (should work today) Let me know how it performs - real-world feedback from field deployments is gold If you need native multi-path support, happy to prioritize that feature based on your timeline

Happy to stay in touch as your project develops. Feel free to email david@netviper.gr if you want to discuss the specifics of your setup, or if you are interested in testing out the GUI application.
