I have already tested the quiche patch from Cloudflare, and even reported a bug on it that was fixed. Can someone comment on differences between the two patche

  CF patch is "unofficial", nginx is official. There isn't huge difference between them from technical point of view. But it's your decision what of them you will use.

    It's really interesting that they chose to use rust

      Actually seems that someone in CF really love Rust: https://blog.cloudflare.com/boringtun-userspace-wireguard-rust/ https://blog.cloudflare.com/boringtun-userspace-wireguard-ru... They have make WireGuard implementation in Rust. Here is original WG-RS: https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-rs/about/ https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-rs/about/ But CF is using their own implementation for WARP: https://blog.cloudflare.com/1111-warp-better-vpn/ https://blog.cloudflare.com/1111-warp-better-vpn/ "We built WARP around WireGuard, a modern, efficient VPN protocol that is much more efficient than legacy VPN protocols." Here is other repo about projects written in Rust: https://github.com/cloudflare?q=&type=&language=rust https://github.com/cloudflare?q=&type=&language=rust

    Depends on what you mean with "technical". Both implement the QUIC specification for obvious reasons, but there is a fair amount of difference in how they for example handle reordering of frames, prioritization of outgoing frames and some other details which will have a yet-to-be-determined impact on performance. Besides that - one of the implementations has unit-tests - one of the implementations is in written in a by-default memory safe programming language - one of the implementations might become available to Nginx users without having to invest extra work
