Off-path NAT traversal probes had IPv4-mapped IPv6 destinations (e.g. [::ffff:10.0.0.4]) because map_to_local_socket_family maps to IPv6 when the connection has any IPv6 path. The transport layer routes V6 addresses to the IPv6 socket, which has a different port than the IPv4 socket. This breaks NAT hole punching because the probe arrives from the wrong source port. Canonicalize the destination in the Transmit so IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses become plain IPv4, routing to the correct socket.
noq
General purpose implementation of the QUIC transport
protocol in pure
Rust. Noq is built as an async-friendly API in the noq crate on top
of a sans-io protocol library in noq-proto.
Noq started out as a fork of the excellent Quinn project. The main focus of development has been towards adding support for more QUIC (draft) extensions:
Features
- Easy to use futures-based async API.
- Client and server server functionality.
- 0-RTT and 0.5-RTT data support.
- Ordered and unordered stream reads.
- Custom and zero-length connection identifiers.
- Fully pluggable crypto API with a Rustls implementation using ring or aws-lc-rs provided by default for convenience.
- Broad platform support, including Linux, Windows, macOS, android, iOS and wasm.
Standards
The noq library aims to be correct implementation of various QUIC standards:
- Supports the core QUIC specifications:
- RFC 8999 - Version-Independent Properties of QUIC.
- RFC 9000 - QUIC: A UDP-Based Multiplexed and Secure Transport.
- [RFC 9001 - Using TLS to Secure QUIC].
- RFC 9002 - QUIC Loss Detection and Congestion Control.
- The standardised QUIC extensions:
- Draft extensions:
- qlog: Structured Logging for Network Protocols.
- QUIC Multipath.
- With experimental qlog support.
- QUIC Address Discovery (QAD).
- Using QUIC to traverse NATs (QNT).
Getting started
Examples at https://github.com/n0-computer/noq/blob/main/noq/examples
$ cargo run --example server ./
$ cargo run --example client https://localhost:4433/Cargo.toml
This launches an HTTP 0.9 server over the QUIC transport on the loopback address serving the current working directory, with the client fetching ./Cargo.toml. By default, the server generates a self-signed certificate and stores it to disk, where the client will automatically find and trust it.
