Using quic header extensions to expose unencrypted application layer data during quic transport

Abstract

A device for receiving data via a network includes: a memory configured to store data; and a processing system implemented in circuitry and configured to: receive, during a QUIC communication session, a QUIC packet including a QUIC header extension, the QUIC header extension being unencrypted, the QUIC header extension being separate from a set of flags and a connection identifier (ID) of the QUIC packet; extract data from the QUIC header extension; and use the data from the QUIC header extension to receive data of the QUIC communication session.
