QUIC-LB: Generating Routable QUIC Connection IDs
draft-ietf-quic-load-balancers-02
Abstract
QUIC connection IDs allow continuation of connections across address/
port 4-tuple changes, and can store routing information for stateless
or low-state load balancers. They also can prevent linkability of
connections across deliberate address migration through the use of
protected communications between client and server. This creates
issues for load-balancing intermediaries. This specification
standardizes methods for encoding routing information given a small
set of configuration parameters. This framework also enables offload
of other QUIC functions to trusted intermediaries, given the explicit
cooperation of the QUIC server.
