Mildly off topic but I absolutely adore this website. That said, I can’t think of any situations where this’d be useful for me.

Curious what kind of networks restrict UDP? Especially since HTTP3/QUIC requires it.

I expect that the outer TCP might be better for high throughput, low RTT, no loss networks and more or less constant throughput on the vpn tunnel. Probably worse in all the other cases.

TCP is very tough to get right - with this said ,this would be great to help network-deployments where UDP is blocked and other restrictions such as national firewalls apply.

Exciting iff this gets upstreamed.

I've been on public WiFi that blocked UDP (except for DNS to their local server). No sites require HTTP3 to function so it's not disruptive to a normal user.

I assume this has head of line blocking. I wonder if evil networks would allow fake TCP through.
