Iroh 1.0

Our QUIC implementation noq is a standards compliant QUIC implementation that in addition to RFC9000 also implements the QUIC multipath draft RFC.

We try very hard not to invent new things unless absolutely necessary. In a few places we had to implement draft RFCs, QUIC multipath and QUIC NAT traversal. And there are some corners where we had to add our own extensions. But we try very hard to keep this to an absolute minimum.

But as someone who's not a network specialist, I fail to see how this is not a glorified P2P DNS.

Maybe this example helps:

https://github.com/n0-computer/iroh#rust-library

    const ALPN: &[u8] = b"iroh-example/echo/0";

    let endpoint = Endpoint::bind().await?;

    // Open a connection to the accepting endpoint
    let conn = endpoint.connect(addr, ALPN).await?;

    // Open a bidirectional QUIC stream
    let (mut send, mut recv) = conn.open_bi().await?;

    // Send some data to be echoed
    send.write_all(b"Hello, world!").await?;
    send.finish()?;

    // Receive the echo
    let response = recv.read_to_end(1000).await?;
    assert_eq!(&response, b"Hello, world!");

    // As the side receiving the last application data - say goodbye
    conn.close(0u32.into(), b"bye!");

    // Close the endpoint and all its connections
    endpoint.close().await;
