HTTP3 DHT #2877

@milahu

Description

@milahu

HTTP/3 is based on UDP.
will this allow us to connect to DHT and UDP trackers?
will this work over IPv6?

possible alternative to #288 and #1492

related: #288 (comment)

QUIC/UDP DataChannels (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIvyOFu1c1Q) will make a WebRTC DHT a lot more efficient, as it has a 0RTT protocol for p2p connections, vs the 4RTT one used by SCTP/DTLS/UDP Data Channels today

browser support: caniuse.com/http3

what would IPFS do: docs.libp2p.io/concepts/transports/quic/

QUIC is a new transport protocol that provides an always-encrypted, stream-multiplexed connection built on top of UDP.

In addition to defining the QUIC transport, the IETF also standardized a new version of HTTP that runs on top of QUIC

i guess that "always-encrypted" breaks our use case (?)
