I did this

When I use curl (build with quiche) for http3 request, sometimes it stucks at n-th run, but it's random (60 - 300 range).

for i in $(seq 1 1000)
do
   curl --http3 https://http3-server/1k.png
done

I expected the following

It should continuously run curl commands without failure.

When I look at server log, I have found the following:

  • curl doesn't seems to properly close QUIC connection, by calling quiche_conn_close()
  • this cause the server to close the connection by idle timeout
  • before idle timeout expires, if next curl command try to reuse the same udp port which is not closed in the server, the server think it's a part of existing connection and drop the packet because it expects a short QUIC packet but long (Initial) packet is received. That's why it looks random (=up to the client OS picking up the source udp port)

I think that if Initial packet has a different CID, then it should be treated as new connection. If server only considers client address and port to associate QUIC connection, it is impossible for client to share a single port between multiple connections.
That said, I think it would be polite to explicitly close the connection if curl knows it does not use the connection anymore.
