Stabilize the Quic Transport Layer

Due by July 01, 2025 0% complete

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
