Apache MINA is a network application framework that helps develop high-performance and high-scalability network applications. It provides an abstract event-driven asynchronous API over various transports such as TCP/IP and UDP/IP via Java NIO. MINA includes sub-projects for SSH (SSHD), FTP (FtpServer), and XMPP (Vysper) protocols.
