Hi Peter, are you seeing longer wait times for N-400 and citizenship processing? Can one travel out of the country for a few weeks while the application is pending or will this imp…

You may be interested in this: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/networking-blog/makin... . The gist is that yes QUIC has higher CPU usage but all OS platforms are investing i…

Our QUIC implementation MsQuic can run in both kernel and user mode on Windows. A PAL allows the core protocol logic to be agnostic.

Thanks for the heads up. We will investigate to see what fraction of connections end up losing these options. Pacing TCP is certainly on our roadmap. Our QUIC implementation MsQuic…

Windows historically defaulted to accepting timestamps when negotiated by the peer but didn't initiate the negotiation. There are benefits to timestamps and one downside (12 bytes …

That's not expected. Are you using loopback sockets or are these sockets on different endpoints? Is this unidirectional or bidirectional traffic, i.e. are you doing both transfers …

I cannot comment on queuing disciplines and limits in future products. Re. TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT, you may want to look at the Ideal Send Backlog API that allows an application to have …

It's called R(ecent) Acknowledgement and yes the work came out of Google. This is the single biggest change to TCP loss recovery in a decade. It is now a Standards Track RFC: https…

You are spot on. PktMon is the next generation tool in newer Windows 10 versions and brings many of the same benefits referred to in this blog - particularly being able to view pac…

I lead the Windows TCP team. We blogged about recent TCP advancements which is very relevant: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/networking-blog/algor...

We are currently testing HTTP/3 support in IIS/http.sys internally. Cannot comment on any external product release timelines.

Connection migration is part of the current Internet-Drafts. The generalized support for multi-path (i.e. usage of more than one path at the same time) is postponed to a future ver…

We do extensive testing including stress testing and make use of tooling that can catch bugs early. We also partner with internal security teams to do fuzz testing and security rev…

There is currently no standardization for QUIC APIs. You can check out the MsQuic API here: https://github.com/microsoft/msquic/blob/master/docs/API.md

Since this had to run in kernel mode on Windows to power our HTTP stack, C was the language of choice. There exist other open source implementations of QUIC in C++ and Rust etc.

RPC/gRPC are certainly possible use cases for the QUIC transport protocol. But no, we have not yet explored the use of QUIC in this context. For now we are focused on workloads tha…
