What does WebTransport do that WebSockets do not do? How is performance comparatively?

• hpx7 4y ago
  WebSockets is built on top of TCP, whereas WebTransport is built on top of UDP. This makes WebTransport better suited for handling latency-sensitive applications like multiplayer games.

    https://github.com/cloudflare/quiche/issues/1114 https://github.com/cloudflare/quiche/issues/1114 Looks like no Rust HTTP/3 "WebTransport" support yet? WebTransport and QUIC are different, right?
    • kevinmgranger 4y ago
      WebTransport is an HTTP/3 only protocol, and HTTP/3 is a QUIC only protocol. Different but interlinked.

        UDP -> QUIC -> HTTP/3 -> WebTransport?

          Correct
