QUIC for Nim

We're working towards an implementation of the QUIC protocol for Nim. This is very much a work in progress, and not yet in a usable state.

Building and testing

Install dependencies:

nimble install -d

Run tests:

nimble test

Roadmap

This is a rough outline of the steps that we expect to take during implemenation. They are bound to change over time.

First, we're going to wrap an existing C library for QUIC, to test the future native Nim implementation against, and to explore what a Nim API should look like.

Wrap existing library:

• Interface with TLS library
• Open connection
• Create stream
• Send data
• Close stream
• Close connection
• Stream multiplexing
• Connection multiplexing

Then we'd like to implement QUIC in Nim itself:

• Open connection
• Create stream
• Send data
• Close stream
• Close connection
• Flow control
• Stream multiplexing
• Congestion control
• Connection multiplexing
