Quinn is an implementation of the QUIC network protocol currently
undergoing standardization by the IETF. It is currently suitable for
experimental use. The implementation is split up into the state machine crate
quicr-core
which performs no I/O internally and can be tested deterministically,
and a high-level tokio-compatible API in quicr
. See quicr/examples/
for usage.
Quinn is the subject of a RustFest Paris (May 2018) presentation; you can also get the slides (and the animation about head-of-line blocking). Video of the talk is available on YouTube. Since this presentation, Quinn has been merged with quicr, another Rust implementation.
All feedback welcome. Feel free to file bugs, requests for documentation and any other feedback to the issue tracker.
Quinn was created and is maintained by by Dirkjan Ochtman and Benjamin Saunders.
