Quictls is a fork of OpenSSL. OpenSSL provides support for QUIC directly to applications. It also (in more recent versions) supplies an API for other QUIC stacks to use the TLS implementation (since QUIC uses TLS internally). Quictls supplies a completely different API for other QUIC stacks to use the TLS implementation. It does not provide any APIs to use QUIC directly to applications. |

They are completely different QUIC implementations. |

Thanks for the update. So that means these 2 will not be merged together and co-exist similar to BoringSSL ? If at high level can you please tell what is the difference in this implementation. |
