Enjoy a slice of QUIC, and Rust!

What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare has introduced Quiche, an open-source implementation of the QUIC protocol written in Rust. The design principle behind Quiche is to expose most of the QUIC complexity through a minimal and intuitive API without making too many assumptions about the application itself. Quiche uses BoringSSL for its TLS layer and Ring for packet protection, with some modifications made to Ring to support QUIC's unique cryptographic requirements. While Quiche is still under development, it has already demonstrated interoperability with other mature QUIC implementations and will continue to evolve as the standardization process progresses.
