Protocols

Xylem supports multiple application protocols for different types of RPC workloads.

Supported Protocols

• Redis - Redis protocol for key-value operations
• HTTP - HTTP/1.1 protocol for web services
• Memcached - Memcached protocol for caching

Protocol Selection

Specify the protocol in your TOML profile configuration:

[target]
protocol = "redis"
address = "localhost:6379"

Protocol Architecture

All protocols in Xylem implement a common interface that provides:

1. Request Generation - Convert logical operations to wire format
2. Response Parsing - Parse responses from the server
3. State Management - Track request-response correlation
4. Error Handling - Detect and report protocol errors
