QUIC is gaining a lot of momentum. Given QUIC implementations are in user space it is challenging to benefit from kernel-based offloads (which protocols like TCP get for free).

Joshua Hay et al propose an interface to support hardware offloads used by QUIC such as cryptography and transmit segmentation. In this talk they will describe their implementation and propose APIs similar to KTLS. They will also present performance measurements and results using the chromium QUIC implementation. They hope to receive feedback and proceed to the next steps.

A gentle reminder to all: Early bird registration is still open until Feb 20th. https://netdevconf.org/0x13/registration.html
