Abstracts

New iteration of the HTTP protocol brings more challenges than previous upgrades. We now need the UDP transport and a different negotiation method; another trouble is the need for embedded security/encryption. You will learn how to implement this protocol in the network, and most importantly - why.

Plan:

– Intro
-- Main differences between HTTP/3 and previous protocols.
-- UDP as a transport.
-- Encryption differences.
-- Connection ID.
-- Protocol negotiation and fallback to other protocols.
-- Use of HTTP/3 in real networks.
-- All the boxes in between a client and a server.
-- Security issues.
-- Implementation in NGINX.
-- Conclusions and questions.
