Available QUIC implementations are very slow. MsQUIC is one of the fastest and can only reach a meager ~7 Gb/s [1]. Most commercial implementations sit in the 2-4 Gb/s range.

To be fair, that is not really a problem of the protocol, just the implementations. You can comfortably drive 10x that bandwidth with a reasonable design.

Thank you for linking to those benchmarks. Its interesting that in OpenSSL upload, Windows userspace is 16% faster than Linux.
