This project is a memory-safe implementation of the QUIC transport protocol and HTTP/3, designed for high-throughput and efficient network communication. It provides a comprehensive toolkit for building secure, low-latency network applications by managing the full lifecycle of transport connections, including protocol negotiation, stream data exchange, and connection state management.
The library distinguishes itself through a focus on performance and protocol integrity. It utilizes a formal state machine to enforce strict adherence to transport rules and employs zero-copy buffer management to minimize CPU overhead by mapping application memory directly to network buffers. To ensure resilience, it features modular congestion control, allowing for pluggable strategies, and stateless handshake validation to verify peer addresses before allocating server resources.
The project covers a broad capability surface, including advanced traffic management, path discovery, and detailed observability tools for monitoring connection health and performance metrics. It provides granular control over security primitives, such as TLS certificate management and session resumption, while supporting specialized features like unreliable datagram delivery and multi-path routing.
The implementation is written in Rust, providing a robust foundation for developers building high-performance web servers, clients, or experimental transport layer features.
