The set of flags that indicate which other struct members are valid.
MaxBytesPerKey
Maximum number of bytes to encrypt with a single 1-RTT encryption key before initiating key update.
Default value: 274,877,906,944
HandshakeIdleTimeoutMs
How long a handshake can idle before it is discarded.
Default value: 10,000
IdleTimeoutMs
How long a connection can go idle before it is gracefully shut down. 0 to disable timeout.
Default value: 30,000
TlsClientMaxSendBuffer
How much client TLS data to buffer. If the application expects large client certificates, or long client certificate chains, this value should be increased.
Default value: 4,096
TlsServerMaxSendBuffer
How much server TLS data to buffer. If the application expects very large server certificates, or long server certificate chains, this value should be increased.
Default value: 8,192
StreamRecvWindowDefault
Initial stream receive window size.
Default value: 32,768
StreamRecvBufferDefault
Stream initial buffer size.
Default value: 4,096
ConnFlowControlWindow
Connection-wide flow control window.
Default value: 16,777,216
MaxWorkerQueueDelayUs
The maximum queue delay (in microseconds) allowed for a worker thread. This affects loss detection and probe timeouts.
Default value: 250,000
MaxStatelessOperations
The maximum number of stateless operations that may be queued on a worker at any one time.
Default value: 16
InitialWindowPackets
The size (in packets) of the initial congestion window for a connection.
Default value: 10
SendIdleTimeoutMs
Reset congestion control after being idle SendIdleTimeoutMs milliseconds.
Default value: 1,000
InitialRttMs
Initial RTT estimate.
Default value: 333
MaxAckDelayMs
How long to wait after receiving data before sending an ACK. This controls batch sending ACKs, to get higher throughput with less overhead. Too long causes retransmits from the peer, too short wastefully sends ACKs.
Default value: 25
DisconnectTimeoutMs
How long to wait for an ACK before declaring a path dead and disconnecting.
Default value: 16,000
KeepAliveIntervalMs
How often to send PING frames to keep a connection alive. This also helps keep NAT table entries from expiring.
Default value: 0 (disabled)
PeerBidiStreamCount
Number of bidirectional streams to allow the peer to open. Must be non-zero to allow the peer to open any streams at all.
Default value: 0
PeerUnidiStreamCount
Number of unidirectional streams to allow the peer to open. Must be non-zero to allow the peer to open any streams at all.
Default value: 0
RetryMemoryLimit
The percentage of available memory usable for handshake connections before stateless retry is used. Calculated as N/65535. Global setting, not per-connection/configuration.
Default value: 65 (~0.1%)
LoadBalancingMode
Global setting, not per-connection/configuration.
Default value: 0 (disabled)
MaxOperationsPerDrain
The maximum number of operations to drain per connection quantum.
Default value: 16
SendBufferingEnabled
Buffer send data within MsQuic instead of holding application buffers until sent data is acknowledged.
Default value: 1 (TRUE)
PacingEnabled
Pace sending to avoid overfilling buffers on the path.
Default value: 1 (TRUE)
MigrationEnabled
Enable clients to migrate IP addresses and tuples. Requires the server to be behind a cooperative load-balancer, or behind no load-balancer.
Default value: 1 (TRUE)
DatagramReceiveEnabled
Advertise support for QUIC datagram extension. Both sides of a connection need to set this to TRUE for DatagramSend to be functional and supported.
Default value: 0 (FALSE)
ServerResumptionLevel
Server only. Controls resumption tickets and/or 0-RTT server support. QUIC_SERVER_RESUME_ONLY enables sending and receiving TLS resumption tickets. The server app must call ConnectionSendResumptionTicket to send a resumption ticket to the client. QUIC_SERVER_RESUME_AND_ZERORTT enables sending and receiving TLS resumption tickets and generating 0-RTT keys and receiving 0-RTT payloads. The server app may decide accept/reject each 0-RTT payload individually.
Default value: QUIC_SERVER_NO_RESUME (disabled)
MinimumMtu
The minimum MTU supported by a connection. This will be used as the starting MTU.
Default value: 1248
MaximumMtu
The maximum MTU supported by a connection. This will be the maximum probed value.
Default value: 1500
MtuDiscoverySearchCompleteTimeoutUs
The time in microseconds to wait before reattempting MTU probing if max was not reached.
Default value: 600000000
MtuDiscoveryMissingProbeCount
The number of MTU probes to retry before exiting MTU probing.
Default value: 3
MaxBindingStatelessOperations
The maximum number of stateless operations that may be queued on a binding at any one time.
Default value: 100
StatelessOperationExpirationMs
The time limit between operations for the same endpoint, in milliseconds.
Default value: 100
When setting new values for the settings, the app must set the corresponding .IsSet.* parameter for each actual parameter that is being set or updated. For example:
QUIC_SETTINGS Settings {0};
//
// Configures the server's idle timeout.
//
Settings.IdleTimeoutMs = 60000; // 60 seconds
Settings.IsSet.IdleTimeoutMs = TRUE;
//
// Configures the server's resumption level to allow for resumption and 0-RTT.
//
Settings.ServerResumptionLevel = QUIC_SERVER_RESUME_AND_ZERORTT;
Settings.IsSet.ServerResumptionLevel = TRUE;
