On: TurboTLS: TLS connection establishment with 1 less round trip

[JohnFen]

But what about all the non-hypertext protocols?

HTTP/3 is based on QUIC, and these perf properties are due to QUIC, not H3.

With that said, the unusual performance dynamics of the Web make connection setup latency particularly important by contrast to, for instance, SMTP, where people don't really get bent out of shape if a message takes another 200ms to be delivered.

You can use QUIC without the HTTP/3 layer on top. It's a general purpose replacement for TCP+TLS.

Does anyone use it for this?
