Describe the bug When MsQuic is built with QUIC_ENABLE_LOGGING=OFF, QuicConnLogOutFlowStats() still scans all live streams to collect statistics that goes nowhere. I've added an early return in QuicConnLogOutFlowStats() and it reduced latency by 90% at following SecNetPerf benchmark: ./build/repro/bin/Release/secnetperf -target:localhost -conns:1 -streams:1000 -rstream:1 -run:10s -up:512 -down:4kb -plat:1 Modified code: QUIC_INLINE void QuicConnLogOutFlowStats( _In_ const QUIC_CONNECTION* const Connection ) { // Added this branching #if defined(QUIC_EVENTS_STUB) && !defined(QUIC_EVENTS_STDOUT) // Event tracing is a no-op; avoid scanning all live streams for statistics. return; #endif if (!QuicTraceEventEnabled(ConnOutFlowStats)) { return; } QuicCongestionControlLogOutFlowStatus(&Connection->CongestionControl); uint64_t FcAvailable, SendWindow; QuicStreamSetGetFlowControlSummary( &Connection->Streams, &FcAvailable,

Describe the bug We develop IceRPC, an RPC framework with QUIC support. We naturally use .NET's System.Net.Quic, which in turn uses msquic. Our test suite establishes many short-lived QUIC connections: each test typically creates a listener on 127.0.0.1:0, connects, exchanges a little data, and closes everything. When running this suite on macOS, from time to time, a random test fails because a connection establishment timed out (took over 10 seconds), even though the same handshake completes in about a millisecond in every other run. We have not seen this failure on Linux or on Windows. We reduced the failure first to a standalone System.Net.Quic program and then to the C++ program below, which uses the msquic API directly with no .NET or IceRPC code at all. At the msquic level the failure is a transport shutdown with QUIC_STATUS_CONNECTION_IDLE (0x65) during connection establishment on loopback. Under sustained connect load (8 threads opening a listener on 127.0.0.1:0, connecting, an

Describe the feature you'd like supported I would like MsQuic to support Raw Public Keys (RPK) as defined in RFC 7250. Currently, this feature can be used with OpenSSL, SChannel doesn't support it. Motivation This is a preferred solution to use in P2P (peer-to-peer) networks like blockchain. Using X.509 certificates for such scenarios is impractical because it requires either: A centralized Certificate Authority, which contradicts the decentralized nature of P2P. Self-signed certificates, which still require additional validation logic and add unnecessary overhead to the handshake. Additional context I am developing a blockchain node in C#. Unfortunately, the blockchain core team doesn't want to use authentication using X.509 certificates, so I will have to implement RPK in MsQuic.
