Unlike its predecessors which rely on TCP, HTTP/3 is based on [QUIC (Quick UDP Internet Connections) protocol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QUIC). It brings several benefits that collectively result in reduced latency and improved performance: + +* enabling seamless transition between different network connections, such as switching from Wi-Fi to mobile data. +* eliminating head-of-line blocking, so that a lost packet does not block all streams. +* negotiating TLS versions at the same time as the TLS handshakes, allowing for faster connections. +* providing encryption by default, ensuring that all data transmitted over an HTTP/3 connection is protected and confidential. +* providing zero round-trip time (0-RTT) when communicating with servers that clients already established connections to. + +APISIX currently supports HTTP/3 connections between downstream clients and APISIX. HTTP/3 connections with upstream services are not yet supported, and contributions are welcomed. + +:::caution + +This feature is currently experimental and not recommended for production use. + +::: + +This document will show you how to configure APISIX to enable HTTP/3 connections between client and APISIX and document a few known issues. + +## Usage + +### Enable HTTP/3 in APISIX + +Enable HTTP/3 on port `9443` (or a different port) by adding the following configurations to APISIX's `config.yaml` configuration file: + +```yaml title="config.yaml" +apisix: + ssl: + listen: + - port: 9443 + enable_http3: true + ssl_protocols: TLSv1.3 +``` + +:::info + +If you are deploying APISIX using Docker, make sure to allow UDP in the HTTP3 port, such as `-p 9443:9443/udp`. + +::: + +Then reload APISIX for configuration changes to take effect: + +```shell +apisix reload +``` + +### Generate Certificates and Keys + +HTTP/3 requires TLS. You can leverage the purchased certificates or self-generate them, whichever applicable. + +To self-generate, first generate the certificate authority (CA) key and certificate: + +```shell +openssl genrsa -out ca.key 2048 && \ + openssl req -new -sha256 -key ca.key -out ca.csr -subj "/CN=ROOTCA" && \ + openssl x509 -req -days 36500 -sha256 -extensions v3_ca -signkey ca.key -in ca.csr -out ca.crt +``` + +Next, generate the key and certificate with a common name for APISIX, and sign with the CA certificate: + +```shell +openssl genrsa -out server.key 2048 && \ + openssl req -new -sha256 -key server.key -out server.csr -subj "/CN=test.com" && \ + openssl x509 -req -days 36500 -sha256 -extensions v3_req \ + -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -CAserial ca.srl -CAcreateserial \ + -in server.csr -out server.crt +``` + +### Configure HTTPS + +Optionally load the content stored in `server.crt` and `server.key` into shell variables: + +```shell +server_cert=$(cat server.crt) +server_key=$(cat server.key) +``` + +Create an SSL certificate object to save the server certificate and its key: + +```shell +curl -i "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/ssls"; -X PUT -d ' +{ + "id": "quickstart-tls-client-ssl", + "sni": "test.com", + "cert": "'"${server_cert}"'", + "key": "'"${server_key}"'" +}' +``` + +### Create a Route + +Create a sample route to `httpbin.org`: + +```shell +curl "http://127.0.0.1:9180/apisix/admin/routes"; -X PUT -d ' +{ + "id":"httpbin-route", + "uri":"/get", + "upstream": { + "type":"roundrobin", + "nodes": { + "httpbin.org:80": 1 + } + } +}' +``` + +### Verify HTTP/3 Connections + +Install [static-curl](https://github.com/stunnel/static-curl) or other curl that have HTTP/3 support.
