We Just Released our Rust WebTransport Teleconferencing System - Here are Some Lessons Learned
10 projects | /r/rust | 10 Jul 2023

We encountered quite a few hurdles on our journey. For one, we had to build our own yew-webtransport and yew-websocket integration from scratch by adding WebTransport definitions to wasm-bindgen (pull request link). We also had to add WebTransport support to the h3 crate (pull request link). co-created by @ten3roberts

Hey u/Kulinda it is in the roadmap to replace WebSockets with WebTransport once https://github.com/hyperium/h3/pull/183 is merged.

Yes and that is h3.
Any rust implementations of WebTransport ?

I'm personally following the development H3 (Hyperium) (HTTP/3 implementation), which is built on top of Quinn (QUIC implementation). Sadly the project has slowed down due to personal circumstances of its main developer and WebTransport isn't currently in their roadmap.

Neqo (Mozilla) and Quiche (Cloudflare) both implement QUIC and HTTP/3. I believe they are both developing an implementation of WebTransport.

Mozilla has a Rust QUIC implementation (one of three good ones in Rust) https://github.com/mozilla/neqo
I'm not sure why it's not used here.
Which QUIC crate should I use
3 projects | /r/rust | 28 Dec 2021

As an code hobbyist I'm working on an opensource project where I would be happy to use QUIC. I did a little research and found Quinn and Quiche but also the Mozilla's implementation for which I couldn't find crate Neqo.

Is it possible to compile quicly cli (referenced in the blog post) with musl instead of glibc. I had to add signal.h and it then compiled successfully but I got illegal instruction segfault when executing cli.

There are a few Rust alternatives for QUIC. Anyone tried them and have comments.

QUIC and HTTP/3 Support Now in Firefox Nightly and Beta

The reason is the need to have total flexibility (control). [0]
I reckon to make it as painless as possible to integrate it into Firefox. Also probably a tiny bit of not-invented-here syndrome too :)
