## Library Features

* Cross-platform support.
MsQuic has several features that differentiates it from other QUIC implementations:

* Optimized for client and server.
* Optimized for maximal throughput and minimal latency.
* Asynchronous IO.
* Receive side scaling (RSS).
* Receive side scaling ([RSS](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/network/introduction-to-receive-side-scaling)) support.
* UDP send and receive coalescing support.

# Platform Support

MsQuic currently officially supports the following platform configurations. Information on support for MsQuic itself is located in [Support.md.](./docs/Support.md)

## Windows 10

On Windows 10, MsQuic relies on built-in support from [Schannel](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/com/schannel) for TLS 1.3 functionality. MsQuic is shipped in-box in the Windows kernel in the form of the `msquic.sys` driver, to support built-in HTTP and SMB features. User mode applications use `msquic.dll` (built from here) and package it with their app.

> **Important** This configuration requires running the latest [Windows Insider Preview Builds](https://insider.windows.com/en-us/) for Schannel's TLS 1.3 support.
> **Important** This configuration does not support 0-RTT due to Schannel's current lack of support.
## Linux

On Linux, MsQuic relies on [OpenSSL](https://www.openssl.org/) for TLS 1.3 functionality.

> **Important** This configuration relies on a fork of OpenSSL for QUIC/TLS support. It is still currently unknown as to when mainline will support QUIC. See [here](https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2020/02/17/QUIC-and-OpenSSL/) for more details.
> **Important** This configuration does not support 0-RTT. Complete integration with OpenSSL is an ongoing effort.
## Other

For testing or experimentation purposes, MsQuic may be built with other configurations, but they are not to be considered officially supported unless they are listed above. Any bugs found while using these configurations may be looked at, but no guarantees are provided that they will be fixed.

# Support for MsQuic

An MsQuic release begins its life in the main branch where it receives feature updates as well as servicing for security and bug fixes. When it is time to release, the code will be snapped into a release branch where it is stable and will only receive servicing for security and bug fixes.

MsQuic v1.0 is the first officially supported release. The primary shipping vehicle for this release will be the [Windows Server vNext](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-server-insiders/announcing-windows-server-vnext-preview-build-19551/m-p/1133432) (actual name TBD) release. No official, signed binaries are currently slated to be released. Linux support is considered a preview for this release.

As the QUIC specifications have not yet been finalized (as of Aug 2020), it's likely only the latest draft version(s) numbers will be supported initially, and not the official "version 1". If the specs aren't RFC status at the release date, then the release will be serviced (updated) accordingly when they do reach RFC.
