XQUIC Library released by Alibaba is …
… a client and server implementation of QUIC and HTTP/3 as specified by the IETF. Currently supported QUIC versions are v1 and draft-29.
… OS and platform agnostic. It currently supports Android, iOS, Linux, macOS and Windows(v1.2.0). Most of the code is used in our own products, and has been tested at scale on android, iOS apps, as well as servers.
… still in active development. Interoperability is regularly tested with other QUIC implementations.
-
All big features conforming with RFC 9000, RFC9001, RFC9002, RFC9114 and RFC9204, including the interface between QUIC and TLS, 0-RTT connection establishment, HTTP/3 and QPACK.
-
ALPN Extension conforming with RFC7301
-
Pluggable congestion control: NewReno, Cubic, BBR and BBRv2, ...
-
Pluggable cryptography, integration with BoringSSL and BabaSSL
-
Cross-platform implementation, support Android, iOS, Linux, macOS and Windows(v1.2.0)
To build XQUIC, you need
- CMake
- BoringSSL or BabaSSL
To run test cases, you need
- libevent
- CUnit
XQUIC supports both BabaSSL and BoringSSL.
