XQUIC
Introduction
XQUIC Library released by Alibaba is …
… a client and server implementation of QUIC and HTTP/3 as specified by the IETF. Currently supported QUIC versions are v1 and draft-29.
… OS and platform agnostic. It currently supports Android, iOS, Linux and macOS. Most of the code is used in our own products, and has been tested at scale on android, iOS apps, as well as servers.
… still in active development. Interoperability is regularly tested with other QUIC implementations.
Requirements
To build XQUIC, you need
- CMake
- BoringSSL or BabaSSL
To run test cases, you need
- libevent
- CUnit
QuickStart Guide
XQUIC supports both BabaSSL and BoringSSL.
Build with BabaSSL
# get XQUIC source code
git clone [email protected]:alibaba/xquic.git
cd xquic
# get and build BabaSSL
git clone [email protected]:BabaSSL/BabaSSL.git ./third_party/babassl
cd ./third_party/babassl/
./config --prefix=/usr/local/babassl
make -j
