- Use for building secure, low-latency network applications requiring multiplexed streams over UDP.
- Use for developing custom QUIC protocol clients or servers with fine-grained control using the sans-io quinn-proto state machine.
- Use for integrating QUIC transport in Rust async applications needing application-layer datagrams and ordered or unordered stream reads.
