Can I tunnel this over SSH and use it the same way as faster drop-in replacement for SFTP? (Why not?)

- mcharawi 5y agoStandard SSH uses TCP over port 22 by default, so it wouldn't be possible without modifying SSH to use a different protocol. That being said, however, our protocol uses TLS over UDP via the OpenSSL libraries so it is secure by default. We also offer a BSD-style socket interface that you can use if you want a drop in replacement for TCP sockets. Shoot me a note at mahamad _at_ trytachyon _dot_ com if you want to chat!
- klabb3 5y agoWhat's the difference between "TLS over UDP" and Quic? Did you compare your solution to some Quic implementation? Also, how was CPU usage? In my experience UDP-based stream protocols do signifanctly worse (I assume due to user-space scheduling and unoptimized hot paths). This may be particularly relevant for laptops and mobile.
- unmole 5y ago> What's the difference between "TLS over UDP" and Quic? QUIC is much much more than TLS over UDP.
- hansel_der 5y agohow much?
- unmole 5y agoHa! Around 4 RFCs and 20 Internet Drafts more: https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/quic/documents/ https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/quic/documents/
