Pyle also showed off Server Message Block (SMB) over Quick UDP Internet Connections (QUIC).

QUIC is a protocol spawned by Google to address performance problems that occur when TCP drops packets 
and does so by reducing the number of round trips needed to move data. The protocol has most-often been 
discussed as a way to make web pages load faster. But Pyle pointed out that SMB over TCP to the cloud just 
doesn’t work.

Using QUIC will make SMB ready for use in mobile and edge applications, Pyle said. To show why he demoed 
trying to map a local drive to a virtual machine running in Azure and his Windows Server instance all-but-
hung and then gave up the ghost.

Running QUIC and sending the SMB traffic through a UDP tunnel – without a VPN – made the transfer 
possible.

“SMB over QUIC is the future of distributed systems,” he said.

mvfst (Pronounced move fast) is a client and server implementation of IETF QUIC protocol in C++ by 
Facebook.

The wikipedia article also links to some "C" based projects, though C++ probably works better for CVSNT.  
Use of this would require moving off the current compiler (see Bug 7429)

2021-03-04 01:00 AEST by Arthur Barrett - Windows Server 2022 will do SMB over QUIC:

"an implementation of the QUIC transport protocol used both for HTTP/3 internet calls and file transfer over 
SMB (Server Message Block, used for Windows networking)."

I've no idea where HTTP/3 comes in....
