QUIC performance requires careful use of batching. Using UDP spckets naively, i.e. sending one QUIC packet per syscall, will incur a lot of oberhead - every time the kernel has to figure out which interface to use, queue it up on a buffer, and all the rest. If one uses it like TCP, batching up lots of data and enquing packets in one “call” helps a ton. Similarly, the kernel wireguard implementation can be slower than wireguard-go since it doesn’t batch traffic. At the speeds offered by modern hardware, we really need to use vectored I/O to be efficient.
