The Vision
Enhance the robustness and fault tolerance of the QUIC protocol.
QUIC is a modern transport layer protocol that offers:
- Connection establishment with a single RTT, compared to the three RTTs required by traditional TCP
- Native encryption with TLS for secure connections
- Built-in multiplexing for improved efficiency

The Vision
Enhance the robustness and fault tolerance of the QUIC protocol.
QUIC is a modern transport layer protocol that offers:
- Connection establishment with a single RTT, compared to the three RTTs required by traditional TCP
- Native encryption with TLS for secure connections
- Built-in multiplexing for improved efficiency
The goal is to make QUIC the default transport layer for substrate-based chains running litep2p.
The Plan
To achieve this, we need to focus on the following:
- Updating the Quinn dependency to the latest API to address performance issues and apply bug fixes
- Analyzing memory usage to eliminate leaks and minimize unnecessary cloning
- Exposing transport layer metrics for better monitoring and analysis
