Description Demi Marie Obenour 2022-12-28 20:08:33 UTC 
SMB over QUIC makes using SMB over the public Internet practical and secure.  It is currently only implemented in Windows Server 2022 Datacenter Azure Edition.  Support in Samba would allow it to be used by those who do not use Azure or Azure Stack HCI.

I think it is neccessary that GnuTLS starts to implement QUIC in the first place. Andreas, do you know if there is any work in that direction?

Most QUIC implementations are third-party.  ngtcp2 supports GnuTLS.
Comment 3 Pim Zandbergen 2024-12-31 16:15:18 UTC 
Still no plans for supporting SMB over QUIC?

SMB over QUIC is here today in Windows 11 and Windows Server 2025.

It's on the STF roadmap. Just google for Samba+STF+funding.
