n0 announces noq: a new QUIC implementation with multipath and NAT traversal support
By

Crisp on the outside, thoughtful on the inside. A keeper.
Summary
n0 (the company behind iroh) announces noq ("number 0 QUIC"), their own general-purpose QUIC implementation with multipath and NAT traversal support. noq has been powering iroh since v0.96 and was developed after forking Quinn in 2024 due to iroh's need for QUIC-level visibility into relay switching, NAT traversal, and congestion state management. The implementation is designed to be a general-purpose transport layer not limited to iroh's use case.

It is the transport layer that has been powering iroh since v0.96, though is in no way limited to iroh's usecase.
iroh was doing a lot of heavy lifting around QUIC: switching between relay and direct paths, managing NAT traversal, juggling congestion state. But QUIC itself had no visibility into any of it.
