+The ngtcp2 programmers' guide for early adopters
+================================================
+
+This document is written for early adopters of ngtcp2 library. It
+describes a brief introduction of programming ngtcp2.
+
+Prerequisites
+-------------
+
+Reading :rfc:`9000` and :rfc:`9001` helps you a lot to write QUIC
+application. They describes how TLS is integrated into QUIC and why
+the existing TLS stack cannot be used with QUIC.
+
+QUIC requires the special interface from TLS stack, which is probably
+not available from most of the existing TLS stacks. As far as I know,
+the TLS stacks maintained by the active participants of QUIC working
+group only get this interface at the time of this writing. In order
+to build QUIC application you have to choose one of them. Here is the
+list of TLS stacks which are supposed to provide such interface and
+for which we provide crypto helper libraries:
+
+* `OpenSSL with QUIC support
+ <https://github.com/quictls/openssl/tree/OpenSSL_1_1_1q+quic>`_
+* GnuTLS >= 3.7.2
+* BoringSSL
+* Picotls
+* wolfSSL
+
+Creating ngtcp2_conn object
+---------------------------
+
+:type:`ngtcp2_conn` is the primary object to present a single QUIC
+connection. Use `ngtcp2_conn_client_new()` for client application,
+and `ngtcp2_conn_server_new()` for server.
+
+They require :type:`ngtcp2_callbacks`, :type:`ngtcp2_settings`, and
+:type:`ngtcp2_transport_params` objects.
+
+The :type:`ngtcp2_callbacks` contains the callback functions which
+:type:`ngtcp2_conn` calls when a specific event happens, say,
+receiving stream data or stream is closed, etc. Some of the callback
+functions are optional. For client application, the following
+callback functions must be set:
+
+* :member:`client_initial <ngtcp2_callbacks.client_initial>`:
+ `ngtcp2_crypto_client_initial_cb()` can be passed directly.
+* :member:`recv_crypto_data <ngtcp2_callbacks.recv_crypto_data>`:
+ `ngtcp2_crypto_recv_crypto_data_cb()` can be passed directly.
+* :member:`encrypt <ngtcp2_callbacks.encrypt>`:
+ `ngtcp2_crypto_encrypt_cb()` can be passed directly.
+* :member:`decrypt <ngtcp2_callbacks.decrypt>`:
+ `ngtcp2_crypto_decrypt_cb()` can be passed directly.
+* :member:`hp_mask <ngtcp2_callbacks.hp_mask>`:
+ `ngtcp2_crypto_hp_mask_cb()` can be passed directly.
+* :member:`recv_retry <ngtcp2_callbacks.recv_retry>`:
+ `ngtcp2_crypto_recv_retry_cb()` can be passed directly.
+* :member:`rand <ngtcp2_callbacks.rand>`
+* :member:`get_new_connection_id
+ <ngtcp2_callbacks.get_new_connection_id>`
+* :member:`update_key <ngtcp2_callbacks.update_key>`:
+ `ngtcp2_crypto_update_key_cb()` can be passed directly.
+* :member:`delete_crypto_aead_ctx
+ <ngtcp2_callbacks.delete_crypto_aead_ctx>`:
+ `ngtcp2_crypto_delete_crypto_aead_ctx_cb()` can be passed directly.
+* :member:`delete_crypto_cipher_ctx
+ <ngtcp2_callbacks.delete_crypto_cipher_ctx>`:
+ `ngtcp2_crypto_delete_crypto_cipher_ctx_cb()` can be passed
+ directly.
+* :member:`get_path_challenge_data
+ <ngtcp2_callbacks.get_path_challenge_data>`:
+ `ngtcp2_crypto_get_path_challenge_data_cb()` can be passed directly.
+* :member:`version_negotiation
+ <ngtcp2_callbacks.version_negotiation>`:
+ `ngtcp2_crypto_version_negotiation_cb()` can be passed directly.
+
+For server application, the following callback functions must be set:
+
+* :member:`recv_client_initial
+ <ngtcp2_callbacks.recv_client_initial>`:
+ `ngtcp2_crypto_recv_client_initial_cb()` can be passed directly.
+* :member:`recv_crypto_data <ngtcp2_callbacks.recv_crypto_data>`:
+ `ngtcp2_crypto_recv_crypto_data_cb()` can be passed directly.
+* :member:`encrypt <ngtcp2_callbacks.encrypt>`:
+ `ngtcp2_crypto_encrypt_cb()` can be passed directly.
+* :member:`decrypt <ngtcp2_callbacks.decrypt>`:
+ `ngtcp2_crypto_decrypt_cb()` can be passed directly.
+* :member:`hp_mask <ngtcp2_callbacks.hp_mask>`:
+ `ngtcp2_crypto_hp_mask_cb()` can be passed directly.
+* :member:`rand <ngtcp2_callbacks.rand>`
+* :member:`get_new_connection_id
+ <ngtcp2_callbacks.get_new_connection_id>`
+* :member:`update_key <ngtcp2_callbacks.update_key>`:
+ `ngtcp2_crypto_update_key_cb()` can be passed directly.
+* :member:`delete_crypto_aead_ctx
+ <ngtcp2_callbacks.delete_crypto_aead_ctx>`:
+ `ngtcp2_crypto_delete_crypto_aead_ctx_cb()` can be passed directly.
+* :member:`delete_crypto_cipher_ctx
+ <ngtcp2_callbacks.delete_crypto_cipher_ctx>`:
+ `ngtcp2_crypto_delete_crypto_cipher_ctx_cb()` can be passed
+ directly.
+* :member:`get_path_challenge_data
+ <ngtcp2_callbacks.get_path_challenge_data>`:
+ `ngtcp2_crypto_get_path_challenge_data_cb()` can be passed directly.
+* :member:`version_negotiation
+ <ngtcp2_callbacks.version_negotiation>`:
+ `ngtcp2_crypto_version_negotiation_cb()` can be passed directly.
+
+``ngtcp2_crypto_*`` functions are a part of :doc:`ngtcp2 crypto API
+<crypto_apiref>` which provides easy integration with the supported
+TLS backend. It vastly simplifies TLS integration and is strongly
+recommended.
+
+:type:`ngtcp2_settings` contains the settings for QUIC connection.
+All fields must be set. Application should call
+`ngtcp2_settings_default()` to set the default values. It would be
+very useful to enable debug logging by setting logging function to
+:member:`ngtcp2_settings.log_printf` field. ngtcp2 library relies on
+the timestamp fed from application. The initial timestamp must be
+passed to :member:`ngtcp2_settings.initial_ts` field in nanosecond
+resolution. ngtcp2 cares about the difference from that initial
+value. It could be any timestamp which increases monotonically, and
+actual value does not matter.
+
+:type:`ngtcp2_transport_params` contains QUIC transport parameters
+which is sent to a remote endpoint during handshake. All fields must
+be set. Application should call `ngtcp2_transport_params_default()`
+to set the default values.
+
+Client application has to supply Connection IDs to
+`ngtcp2_conn_client_new()`. The *dcid* parameter is the destination
+connection ID (DCID), and which should be random byte string and at
+least 8 bytes long. The *scid* is the source connection ID (SCID)
+which identifies the client itself. The *version* parameter is the
+QUIC version to use. It should be :macro:`NGTCP2_PROTO_VER_V1`.
+
+Similarly, server application has to supply these parameters to
+`ngtcp2_conn_server_new()`. But the *dcid* must be the same value
+which is received from client (which is client SCID). The *scid* is
+chosen by server. Don't use DCID in client packet as server SCID.
+The *version* parameter is the QUIC version to use. It should be
+:macro:`NGTCP2_PROTO_VER_V1`.
+
+A path is very important to QUIC connection. It is the pair of
+endpoints, local and remote. The path passed to
+`ngtcp2_conn_client_new()` and `ngtcp2_conn_server_new()` is a network
+path that handshake is performed. The path must not change during
+handshake. After handshake is confirmed, client can migrate to new
+path. An application must provide actual path to the API function to
+tell the library where a packet comes from. The "write" API function
+takes path parameter and fills it to which the packet should be sent.
+
+TLS integration
+---------------
+
+Use of :doc:`ngtcp2 crypto API <crypto_apiref>` is strongly
+recommended because it vastly simplifies the TLS integration.
+
+The most of the TLS work is done by the callback functions passed to
+:type:`ngtcp2_callbacks` object. There are some operations left to
+application in order to make TLS integration work. We have a set of
+helper functions to make it easier for applications to configure TLS
+stack object to work with QUIC and ngtcp2. They are specific to each
+supported TLS stack:
+
+- OpenSSL
+
+ * `ngtcp2_crypto_openssl_configure_client_context`
+ * `ngtcp2_crypto_openssl_configure_server_context`
+
+- BoringSSL
+
+ * `ngtcp2_crypto_boringssl_configure_client_context`
+ * `ngtcp2_crypto_boringssl_configure_server_context`
+
+- GnuTLS
+
+ * `ngtcp2_crypto_gnutls_configure_client_session`
+ * `ngtcp2_crypto_gnutls_configure_server_session`
+
+- Picotls
+
+ * `ngtcp2_crypto_picotls_configure_client_context`
+ * `ngtcp2_crypto_picotls_configure_server_context`
+ * `ngtcp2_crypto_picotls_configure_client_session`
+ * `ngtcp2_crypto_picotls_configure_server_session`
+
+- wolfSSL
+
+ * `ngtcp2_crypto_wolfssl_configure_client_context`
+ * `ngtcp2_crypto_wolfssl_configure_server_context`
+
+They make the minimal QUIC specific changes to TLS stack object. See
+the ngtcp2 crypto API header files for each supported TLS stack. In
+order to make these functions work, we require that a pointer to
+:type:`ngtcp2_crypto_conn_ref` must be set as a user data in TLS stack
+object, and its :member:`ngtcp2_crypto_conn_ref.get_conn` must point
+to a function which returns :type:`ngtcp2_conn` of the underlying QUIC
+connection.
+
+If you do not use the above helper functions, you need to generate and
+install keys to :type:`ngtcp2_conn`, and pass handshake messages to
+:type:`ngtcp2_conn` as well. When TLS stack generates new secrets,
+they have to be installed to :type:`ngtcp2_conn` by calling
+`ngtcp2_crypto_derive_and_install_rx_key()` and
+`ngtcp2_crypto_derive_and_install_tx_key()`. When TLS stack generates
+new crypto data to send, they must be passed to :type:`ngtcp2_conn` by
+calling `ngtcp2_conn_submit_crypto_data()`.
+
+When QUIC handshake is completed,
+:member:`ngtcp2_callbacks.handshake_completed` callback function is
+called. The local and remote endpoint independently declare handshake
+completion. The endpoint has to confirm that the other endpoint also
+finished handshake. When the handshake is confirmed, client side
+:type:`ngtcp2_conn` will call
+:member:`ngtcp2_callbacks.handshake_confirmed` callback function.
+Server confirms handshake when it declares handshake completion,
+therefore, separate handshake confirmation callback is not called.
+
+Read and write packets
+----------------------
+
+`ngtcp2_conn_read_pkt()` processes the incoming QUIC packets. In
+order to write QUIC packets, call `ngtcp2_conn_writev_stream()` or
+`ngtcp2_conn_write_pkt()`. The *destlen* parameter must be at least
+the value returned from `ngtcp2_conn_get_max_tx_udp_payload_size()`.
+
+In order to send stream data, the application has to first open a
+stream. Use `ngtcp2_conn_open_bidi_stream()` to open bidirectional
+stream. For unidirectional stream, call
+`ngtcp2_conn_open_uni_stream()`. Call `ngtcp2_conn_writev_stream()`
+to send stream data.
+
+An application should pace sending packets.
+`ngtcp2_conn_get_send_quantum()` returns the number of bytes that can
+be sent without packet spacing. After one or more calls of
+`ngtcp2_conn_writev_stream()` (it can be called multiple times to fill
+the buffer sized up to `ngtcp2_conn_get_send_quantum()` bytes), call
+`ngtcp2_conn_update_pkt_tx_time()` to set the timer when the next
+packet should be sent. The timer is integrated into
+`ngtcp2_conn_get_expiry()`.
+
+Packet handling on server side
+------------------------------
+
+Any incoming UDP datagram should be first processed by
+`ngtcp2_pkt_decode_version_cid()`. It can handle Connection ID more
+than 20 bytes which is the maximum length defined in QUIC v1. If the
+function returns :macro:`NGTCP2_ERR_VERSION_NEGOTIATION`, server
+should send Version Negotiation packet. Use
+`ngtcp2_pkt_write_version_negotiation()` for this purpose. If
+`ngtcp2_pkt_decode_version_cid()` succeeds, then check whether the UDP
+datagram belongs to any existing connection by looking up connection
+tables by Destination Connection ID. If it belongs to an existing
+connection, pass the UDP datagram to `ngtcp2_conn_read_pkt()`. If it
+does not belong to any existing connection, it should be passed to
+`ngtcp2_accept()`. If it returns :macro:`NGTCP2_ERR_RETRY`, the
+server should send Retry packet (use `ngtcp2_crypto_write_retry()` to
+create Retry packet). If it returns an other negative error code,
+just drop the packet to the floor and take no action, or send
+Stateless Reset packet (use `ngtcp2_pkt_write_stateless_reset()` to
+create Stateless Reset packet). Otherwise, the UDP datagram is
+acceptable as a new connection. Create :type:`ngtcp2_conn` object and
+pass the UDP datagram to `ngtcp2_conn_read_pkt()`.
+
+Dealing with early data
+-----------------------
+
+Client application has to load resumed TLS session. It also has to
+set the remembered transport parameters using
+`ngtcp2_conn_set_early_remote_transport_params()` function.
+
+Other than that, there is no difference between early data and 1RTT
+data in terms of API usage.
+
+If early data is rejected by a server, client must call
+`ngtcp2_conn_early_data_rejected`. All connection states altered
+during early data transmission are undone. The library does not
+retransmit early data to server as 1RTT data. If an application
+wishes to resend data, it has to reopen streams and writes data again.
+See `ngtcp2_conn_early_data_rejected`.
+
+Stream data ownership
+--------------------------------
+
+Stream data passed to :type:`ngtcp2_conn` must be held by application
+until :member:`ngtcp2_callbacks.acked_stream_data_offset` callbacks is
+invoked, telling that the those data are acknowledged by the remote
+endpoint and no longer used by the library.
+
+Timers
+------
+
+The library does not ask an operating system for any timestamp.
+Instead, an application has to supply timestamp to the library. The
+type of timestamp in ngtcp2 library is :type:`ngtcp2_tstamp` which is
+nanosecond resolution. The library only cares the difference of
+timestamp, so it does not have to be a system clock. A monotonic
+clock should work better. It should be same clock passed to
+:member:`ngtcp2_settings.initial_ts`. The duration in ngtcp2 library
+is :type:`ngtcp2_duration` which is also nanosecond resolution.
+
+`ngtcp2_conn_get_expiry()` tells an application when timer fires.
+When it fires, call `ngtcp2_conn_handle_expiry()`. If it returns
+:macro:`NGTCP2_ERR_IDLE_CLOSE`, it means that an idle timer has fired
+for this particular connection. In this case, drop the connection
+without calling `ngtcp2_conn_write_connection_close()`. Otherwise,
+call `ngtcp2_conn_writev_stream()`. After calling
+`ngtcp2_conn_handle_expiry()` and `ngtcp2_conn_writev_stream()`, new
+expiry is set. The application should call `ngtcp2_conn_get_expiry()`
+to get a new deadline.
+
+Please note that :type:`ngtcp2_tstamp` of value ``UINT64_MAX`` is
+treated as an invalid timestamp. Do not pass ``UINT64_MAX`` to any
+ngtcp2 functions which take :type:`ngtcp2_tstamp` unless it is
+explicitly allowed.
+
+Connection migration
+--------------------
+
+In QUIC, client application can migrate to a new local address.
+`ngtcp2_conn_initiate_immediate_migration()` migrates to a new local
+address without checking reachability. On the other hand,
+`ngtcp2_conn_initiate_migration()` migrates to a new local address
+after a new path is validated (thus reachability is established).
+
+Closing connection abruptly
+---------------------------
+
+In order to close QUIC connection abruptly, call
+`ngtcp2_conn_write_connection_close()` and get a terminal packet.
+After the call, the connection enters the closing state.
+
+The closing and draining state
+------------------------------
+
+After the successful call of `ngtcp2_conn_write_connection_close()`,
+the connection enters the closing state. When
+`ngtcp2_conn_read_pkt()` returns :macro:`NGTCP2_ERR_DRAINING`, the
+connection has entered the draining state. In these states,
+`ngtcp2_conn_writev_stream()` and `ngtcp2_conn_read_pkt()` return an
+error (either :macro:`NGTCP2_ERR_CLOSING` or
+:macro:`NGTCP2_ERR_DRAINING` depending on the state).
+`ngtcp2_conn_write_connection_close()` returns 0 in these states. If
+an application needs to send a packet containing CONNECTION_CLOSE
+frame in the closing state, resend the packet produced by the first
+call of `ngtcp2_conn_write_connection_close()`. Therefore, after a
+connection has entered one of these states, the application can
+discard :type:`ngtcp2_conn` object. The closing and draining state
+should persist at least 3 times the current PTO.
+
+Error handling in general
+-------------------------
+
+In general, when error is returned from the ngtcp2 library function,
+call `ngtcp2_conn_write_connection_close()` to get terminal packet.
+If the successful call of the function creates non-empty packet, the
+QUIC connection enters the closing state.
+
+If :macro:`NGTCP2_ERR_DROP_CONN` is returned from
+`ngtcp2_conn_read_pkt`, a connection should be dropped without calling
+`ngtcp2_conn_write_connection_close()`. Similarly, if
+:macro:`NGTCP2_ERR_IDLE_CLOSE` is returned from
+`ngtcp2_conn_handle_expiry`, a connection should be dropped without
+calling `ngtcp2_conn_write_connection_close()`. If
+:macro:`NGTCP2_ERR_DRAINING` is returned from `ngtcp2_conn_read_pkt`,
+a connection has entered the draining state, and no further packet
+transmission is allowed.
+
+The following error codes must be considered as transitional, and
+application should keep connection alive:
+
+* :macro:`NGTCP2_ERR_STREAM_DATA_BLOCKED`
+* :macro:`NGTCP2_ERR_STREAM_SHUT_WR`
+* :macro:`NGTCP2_ERR_STREAM_NOT_FOUND`
+* :macro:`NGTCP2_ERR_STREAM_ID_BLOCKED`
+
+Version negotiation
+-------------------
+
+Version negotiation is configured with the following
+:type:`ngtcp2_settings` fields:
+
+* :member:`ngtcp2_settings.preferred_versions` and
+ :member:`ngtcp2_settings.preferred_versionslen`
+* :member:`ngtcp2_settings.other_versions` and
+ :member:`ngtcp2_settings.other_versionslen`
+* :member:`ngtcp2_settings.original_version`
+
+*client_chosen_version* passed to `ngtcp2_conn_client_new` also
+influence the version negotiation process.
+
+By default, client sends *client_chosen_version* passed to
+`ngtcp2_conn_client_new` in other_versions field of
+version_information QUIC transport parameter. That means there is no
+chance for server to select the other compatible version. Meanwhile,
+ngtcp2 supports QUIC v2 draft version
+(:macro:`NGTCP2_PROTO_VER_V2_DRAFT`). Including both
+:macro:`NGTCP2_PROTO_VER_V1` and :macro:`NGTCP2_PROTO_VER_V2_DRAFT` in
+:member:`ngtcp2_settings.other_versions` field allows server to choose
+:macro:`NGTCP2_PROTO_VER_V2_DRAFT` which is compatible to
+:macro:`NGTCP2_PROTO_VER_V1`.
+
+By default, server sends :macro:`NGTCP2_PROTO_VER_V1` in
+other_versions field of version_information QUIC transport parameter.
+Because there is no particular preferred versions specified, server
+will accept any supported version. In order to set the version
+preference, specify :member:`ngtcp2_settings.preferred_versions`
+field. If it is specified, server sends them in other_versions field
+of version_information QUIC transport parameter unless
+:member:`ngtcp2_settings.other_versionslen` is not zero. Specifying
+:member:`ngtcp2_settings.other_versions` overrides the above mentioned
+default behavior. Even if there is no overlap between
+:member:`ngtcp2_settings.preferred_versions` and other_versions field
+plus *client_chosen_version* from client, as long as
+*client_chosen_version* is supported by server, server accepts
+*client_chosen_version*.
+
+If client receives Version Negotiation packet from server,
+`ngtcp2_conn_read_pkt` returns
+:macro:`NGTCP2_ERR_RECV_VERSION_NEGOTIATION`.
+:member:`ngtcp2_callbacks.recv_version_negotiation` is also invoked if
+set. It will provide the versions contained in the packet. Client
+then either gives up the connection attempt, or selects the version
+from Version Negotiation packet, and starts new connection attempt
+with that version. In the latter case, the initial version that used
+in the first connection attempt must be set to
+:member:`ngtcp2_settings.original_version`. The client version
+preference that is used when selecting a version from Version
+Negotiation packet must be set to
+:member:`ngtcp2_settings.preferred_versions`.
+:member:`ngtcp2_settings.other_versions` must include the selected
+version. The selected version becomes *client_chosen_version* in the
+second connection attempt, and must be passed to
+`ngtcp2_conn_client_new`.
+
+Server never know whether client reacted upon Version Negotiation
+packet or not, and there is no particular setup for server to make
+this incompatible version negotiation work.
+
+Thread safety
+-------------
+
+ngtcp2 library is thread-safe as long as a single :type:`ngtcp2_conn`
+object is accessed by a single thread at a time. For multi-threaded
+applications, it is recommended to create :type:`ngtcp2_conn` objects
+per thread to avoid locks.
