quic-go is an implementation of the QUIC protocol in Go. While we're not far from being feature complete, there's still work to do regarding performance and security. At the moment, we do not recommend use in production systems. We appreciate any feedback :)
Done:
- Basic protocol with support for QUIC version 34-36
- QUIC client
- HTTP/2 support
- Crypto (RSA / ECDSA certificates, Curve25519 for key exchange, AES-GCM or Chacha20-Poly1305 as stream cipher)
- Loss detection and retransmission (currently fast retransmission & RTO)
- Flow Control
- Congestion control using cubic
Major TODOs:
- Security, especially DoS protections
- Performance
- Better packet loss detection
- Connection migration
Installing deps:
go get -t
Running tests:
go test ./...
go run example/main.go -www /var/www/
Using the quic_client from chromium:
quic_client --host=127.0.0.1 --port=6121 --v=1 https://quic.clemente.io
Using Chrome:
/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --user-data-dir=/tmp/chrome --no-proxy-server --enable-quic --origin-to-force-quic-on=quic.clemente.io:443 --host-resolver-rules='MAP quic.clemente.io:443 127.0.0.1:6121' https://quic.clemente.io
go run example/client/main.go https://quic.clemente.io
See the example server or try out Caddy (from version 0.9, instructions here). Starting a QUIC server is very similar to the standard lib http in go:
http.Handle("/", http.FileServer(http.Dir(wwwDir)))
h2quic.ListenAndServeQUIC("localhost:4242", "/path/to/cert/chain.pem", "/path/to/privkey.pem", nil)See the example client. Use a QuicRoundTripper as a Transport in a http.Client.
http.Client{
Transport: &h2quic.QuicRoundTripper{},
}Due to the low Windows timer resolution (see StackOverflow question) available with Go 1.6.x, some optimizations might not work when compiled with this version of the compiler. Please use Go 1.7 on Windows.
