  • Multipath TCP for Linux
    6 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 19 Apr 2024
    QUIC is a step backwards here; it has no multipath support: https://lwn.net/Articles/964377/

    Multipath: There are several areas where TCP still has an advantage over QUIC. One of those is multipath support. Multipath TCP connections can send data on different network paths simultaneously — for example, sending via both WiFi and cellular data — to provide better throughput than either path permits individually.

    Server connection migration is explicitly forbidden by QUIC:

  • RFC 9114 – HTTP/3
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 6 Jun 2022
    https://github.com/quicwg/base-drafts/issues/253

    TL;DR just like HTTP/2, we wanted to avoid friction in deploying these protocols. Having to rewrite URLs because of new schemes is pretty unpalatable, it has major impact. Instead, HTTP/3 can rely on other IETF-defined mechanisms like Alt-Svc (RFC 7838) and the more recent SVCB / HTTPS RR [1] DNS-based methods. The latter has been deployed on Cloudflare a while [2] and supported in Firefox. Other user agents have also expressed interest or intent to support it.

    The net outcome is that developers can by and large focus on HTTP semantics, and let something a little further down the stack worry more about versions. Sometime devs will need to peek into that area, but not the majority.

  • Announcing s2n-quic 1.0
    9 projects | /r/rust | 17 Feb 2022
    After lots of hard work, we're excited to open-source [s2n-quic](https://github.com/aws/s2n-quic), a Rust implementation of the [IETF QUIC protocol](https://quicwg.org/). Feel free to ask any questions here in the comments or by [opening an issue](https://github.com/aws/s2n-quic/issues/new/choose). Thanks!

  • Crate to build network packets over UDP
    5 projects | /r/rust | 9 Jul 2021
    Maybe check out laminar and quinn, which implement custom protocols on top of UDP (quinn implements QUIC), to get an idea on how to do things.
  • QUIC is now RFC 9000
    15 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 27 May 2021
    IETF work is conducted mostly on email lists, hence the "many thousands of emails".

    For some newer work like QUIC, GitHub is used to maintain a more to-the-minute shared view of the documents, and then again as mentioned in the text you quoted, GitHub Issues and PRs are used to manage the document, particularly by the most active participants.

    https://github.com/quicwg/base-drafts - of course raising issues or PRs for them now won't do anything useful for you, because these RFCs were published. But you can see there were thousands of commits, one of the last being Martin Thompson's minor typographical tweaks summarised as "DOES IT NEVER END?!?".
