QUIC through a Data Diode (Monodirectional Network)

[Rich Evans]

Hello,

I currently use a program called "UDPCast" for asynchronous UDP-based file transfer across a mono-directional network (using a data-diode and forward-error-correction). I am looking for other open source tools that can do the same thing and have recently been encouraged to look at QUIC, however, I can't find anything (yet) in the available documentation or discussions that addresses the asynchronous file transfer functionality like UDPCast does. Can anyone confirm or clarify this with regards to QUIC? Thank you.

Here is the link to the mono-directional application of UDPCast that I use: https://www.udpcast.linux.lu/satellite.html

Note: the asynchronous mode of UDPCast is 100% UDP based and has no handshaking whatsoever. This essential to work across a security diode.

Thanks in advance,
-Rich

rlnc is good for transmission-only

i am looking into a java impl at https://github.com/jnorthrup/raccoon and if you are interested in academic pursuits, check out Kernel Kodo | Steinwurf

are you saying that QUIC can not do what I am asking?

rlnc is a match for "Note: the asynchronous mode of UDPCast is 100% UDP based and has no handshaking whatsoever. This essential to work across a security diode."

Hey Rich,

It's not clear what benefit QUIC would bring to your use case. 99% of what it accomplishes (from 0RTT handshake to HTTP semantics) revolves around sending packets back and forth. If you remove all these things, you're left with... some framing, I guess?

Hi Fedor, thanks. It was worth asking. I'll consider this option explored. Thank you.
