The MASQUE (Multiplexed Application Substrate over QUIC Encryption) protocol is a framework designed to enhance internet communication by allowing the multiplexing of different application layer protocols over a single HTTP/3 connection.
HTTP/3 runs on QUIC which runs on UDP. HTTP/3 uses QUIC's built-in encryption mechanisms which include TLS 1.3.
You can tunnel anything over MASQUE tunnels. This will be better than traditional TCP TLS protocols because
- QUIC is faster than TCP.
- MASQUE traffic looks like HTTP/3 traffic on QUIC. Thus, it is more difficult for governments, schools, coffee shops, and corporations to identify and block MASQUE.
Can anyone QUIC-ly look into MASQUE and assess whether it is a good fit for openziti?
