uHub is a high performance peer-2-peer hub designed for UNIX-like operating systems. The project is written in C, has a clean design and small memory footprint. It is scalable, and will work for small hubs on embedded hardware, as well as big hubs running on high preformance servers with thousands of users.

uHub uses the ADC protocol (ie. the next generation Direct Connect), and is compatible with DC++, Elise, QuickDC and other ADC clients.

Unlike other peer-2-peer networks, ADC is centralized. Clients connect to a central "hub" to communicate with other clients. It can be compared to super nodes (or ultra nodes) in other networks, except the hubs do not openly communicate between each other. The advantage to such a design is that the hubs are in control on who can access the network.
