Telemetry over QUIC

A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor on a computer, cause the computer to perform a method comprising:

• obtaining a telemetry stream that is uniquely identifiable by a span identifier;
• translating the telemetry stream into a corresponding QUIC protocol stream;
• mapping the span identifier of the telemetry stream to a respective stream identifier that uniquely identifies a QUIC channel of a multiplexed QUIC protocol stream having a plurality of QUIC channels;
• and
• communicating the multiplexed QUIC protocol stream containing the telemetry stream on the corresponding QUIC channel to cause a retrieving device to determine the span identifier of the telemetry stream based on the respective stream identifier.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a retrieving device, a multiplexed QUIC protocol stream having a plurality of QUIC channels;
• determining, by the retrieving device, that the multiplexed QUIC protocol stream is a communication of a telemetry stream that is uniquely identifiable by a span identifier;
• determining, by the retrieving device and based on a mapping correlation between a respective stream identifier of each of the plurality of QUIC channels and a span identifier of the telemetry stream, that the telemetry stream is communicated within a QUIC channel of the multiplexed QUIC protocol stream, wherein the respective stream identifier uniquely identifies a QUIC channel of the multiplexed QUIC protocol stream;
• and
• consuming, by the retrieving device, the telemetry stream with the determined span identifier.
