QUIC: connection migration.
The patch adds proper transitions between multiple networking addresses that
can be used by a single quic connection. New networking paths are validated
using PATH_CHALLENGE/PATH_RESPONSE frames.

| 13 | |
| 14 This is an experimental QUIC [1] / HTTP/3 [2] support for nginx. | |
| 15 | |
| 16 The code is developed in a separate "quic" branch available | |
| 17 at https://hg.nginx.org/nginx-quic. Currently it is based | |

23 The code is currently at a beta level of quality and should not |
| 8366 | 24 be used in production. |
| 25 | |
| 26 We are working on improving HTTP/3 support with the goal of | |
| 27 integrating it to the main NGINX codebase. Expect frequent | |
| 28 updates of this code and don't rely on it for whatever purpose. | |
| 29 | |
| 30 We'll be grateful for any feedback and code submissions however | |
| 31 we don't bear any responsibilities for any issues with this code. | |
| 32 | |
| 33 You can always contact us via nginx-devel mailing list [3]. | |

54 + Clients may migrate to new address |
| 8366 | 55 |
| 56 Not (yet) supported features: | |
| 57 | |
| 8527 | 58 - Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) as specified in quic-recovery [5] |
| 8366 | 59 - A connection with the spin bit succeeds and the bit is spinning |
| 60 - Structured Logging | |
| 61 - HTTP/3 trailers | |
| 62 | |
| 63 Since the code is experimental and still under development, | |
| 64 a lot of things may not work as expected, for example: | |
| 65 | |
| 66 - Flow control mechanism is basic and intended to avoid CPU hog and make | |
| 67 simple interactions possible | |
| 68 | |
| 69 - Not all draft requirements are strictly followed; some of checks are | |
| 70 omitted for the sake of simplicity of initial implementation | |
| 71 | |
| 72 2. Installing | |

212 + Ensure you are building with proper SSL library that supports QUIC |
| 8366 | 213 |
| 214 + Ensure you are using the proper SSL library in runtime | |
| 215 (`nginx -V` will show you what you are using) | |
| 216 | |
| 217 + Ensure your client is actually sending QUIC requests | |
| 218 (see "Clients" section about browsers and cache) | |
| 219 | |
| 220 We recommend to start with simple console client like ngtcp2 | |
| 221 to ensure you've got server configured properly before trying | |
| 8395 | 222 with real browsers that may be very picky with certificates, |
| 8366 | 223 for example. |
| 224 | |
| 225 + Build nginx with debug support [7] and check your debug log. | |
| 226 It should contain all details about connection and why it | |
| 227 failed. All related messages contain "quic " prefix and can | |
| 228 be easily filtered out. | |
| 229 | |
