thanks Peter. interplanetary means: long delays and disruptions. Earth to Mars one way delay = 4-22 minutes. So a messaging/protocol should not be "interactive" by having all kind of updates which are not real messages. Moreover, the transport has to be compatible. TCP won't work with this use case, so we are using a space profiled QUIC. So we would need XMPP over QUIC, which AFAIK is not active.
Hi Marc, thanks for the additional context.
It's possible that some folks might be interested in XMPP over QUIC for other reasons, so that might be a good place to start if those folks (whoever they are!) have the energy to work on a spec for it.
While I don't think any of the server implementations have QUIC built-in yet, XMPP over QUIC is supported in https://github.com/moparisthebest/xmpp-proxy which can be used alongside any XMPP server to add QUIC support. Regards, Matthew
