Iroh HTTP/3 Toolkit

A collection of crates enabling HTTP/3 communication over the Iroh peer-to-peer (P2P) transport built on QUIC.

This monorepo contains a set of Rust crates that integrate the iroh networking stack — a P2P library built on top of QUIC — with the h3 HTTP/3 protocol implementation and compatible async frameworks such as axum.

The implementation is adapted from the hyperium/h3 project and reworked to support Iroh’s peer-to-peer QUIC transport model. All code is released under the MIT License.

Repository Structure

Each crate lives within the same Cargo workspace and is designed to interoperate cleanly while remaining usable independently.

Design Goals

• P2P Integration: Extend HTTP/3 semantics to work seamlessly over Iroh’s decentralized QUIC-based transport.
• Interoperability: Preserve the h3 trait model (Connection, BidiStream, etc.) to stay compatible with existing HTTP/3 stacks.
• Extensible Stack: Serve as a foundation for higher-level protocols and frameworks like Axum to operate over peer-to-peer links.
• Correct and Robust: Carefully translate iroh’s error and stream models into the HTTP/3 abstraction layer.
