MsQuic

MsQuic is a free and open source implementation of the IETF QUIC protocol written in C[1] that is available on both Windows and Linux platforms.[2] The library is designed to be a cross-platform general purpose QUIC library and optimized for client and server applications, for maximal throughput and minimal latency. It supports asynchronous IO, receive side scaling (RSS) and UDP send and receive coalescing.[3]
