QUIC Transport

See also network

Overview

QUIC is a new low-latency encrypted transport protocol, built on top of UDP.

Packaging

The xpra.org RPM repositories include the dependencies required for running QUIC servers and clients for most distributions, namely aioquic and its dependencies.

Some distributions (ie: RHEL 8 / 9) may lack some of the dependencies, in which case you may need to install them using pip:

pip3.XX install certifi pyOpenSSL cryptography

(be aware that these packages will not receive security updates from your package manager)

SSL Options

SSL encryption is built into the QUIC protocol, so you need to provide the same configuration options as SSL.

Notes

• QUIC is UDP based, you need to open the UDP port of your choosing on your firewall.
• some tuning may be needed
• xpra version 5.0 or later is required
