Status
quicz’s current status, coverage, and scope, sourced from the project README, the feature matrix, and the transport task matrix.
Current state
Section titled “Current state”Transport and application layers are production-ready (from the README):
- 40/41 features, 1820 unit tests, zero leaks.
- Bidirectional interop matrix 7/7 against quic-go, quiche, s2n-quic, and quinn — certificate-verified TLS 1.3 with a proper CA chain.
- Full HTTP/3 (SETTINGS, GOAWAY, stream state machine), QPACK static + dynamic table, WebTransport, HTTP Datagrams (RFC 9297).
- Public APIs may still evolve.
Coverage
Section titled “Coverage”| Metric | quicz |
|---|---|
| Transport (19 items) | 19/19 |
| Congestion (8 items) | 7/8 (BBR removed) |
| Cipher suites (5 items) | 5/5 |
| Application layer (6 items) | 6/6 |
| Platform (3 items) | 1/3 |
| Total (41 items) | 40/41 |

Milestones
Section titled “Milestones”The transport task matrix tracks these as its definition of done:
- Standard matrix and documentation stay current.
- RFC 8999 / 9000 packet, frame, transport-parameter, and error-code support complete.
- Connection state machine, packet-number spaces, and protected datagram APIs available.
- RFC 9001 TLS integration and packet protection establish local 1-RTT.
- RFC 9000 transport behavior covers streams, flow control, connection IDs, Retry/token, path validation, close/reset.
- RFC 9002 recovery and congestion control pass controlled-clock tests.
- Layered examples and at least one external interop path available.
Out of scope
Section titled “Out of scope”- BBR — deliberately removed in favor of CUBIC (2026-08).
- FIPS 140-3 — quic-go only.
- XDP zero-copy I/O — s2n-quic only.
Evidence & tracking
Section titled “Evidence & tracking”- Transport task matrix — the per-feature ledger.
- Threat model — trust boundary and defenses.
- Performance — first-party benchmark numbers.
- Examples — runnable probes and interop commands.
The task matrix’s RFC-status table is reconciled to the current feature matrix (2026-08); the feature matrix and README reflect the current code.
