Big update for VX6: Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022+ are now in the mix on both AMD64 and ARM64.

This isn’t just a β€œit builds on Windows” moment β€” the platform layer now detects what’s available at runtime and picks the best path automatically. βš™οΈ

πŸ”§ What landed

πŸͺŸ Windows transport selection

🌐 MsQuic integration with TCP fallback

🧠 eBPF/XDP capability detection

⚑ AF_XDP ring interface for packet I/O

πŸ“Š Go-based performance CLI with JSON / text / CSV output

πŸ–₯️ Native Win32 performance GUI

πŸ› οΈ Build support for Windows AMD64 and ARM64

🧩 Why this is interesting

The goal was to keep VX6 flexible across platforms without turning Windows into a special-case mess.

So instead of assuming a feature is always there, VX6 now checks at runtime:

Is MsQuic available? β†’ use it

Not available? β†’ fall back to TCP

Is eBPF/XDP present? β†’ expose it

Not present? β†’ keep going with userspace paths

That makes the stack more adaptable and keeps the behavior predictable across environments.…
