2. Building from sources
The build is configured using the configure command.
Refer to http://nginx.org/en/docs/configure.html for details.
When configuring nginx, it's possible to enable QUIC and HTTP/3
using the following new configuration options:
--with-http_v3_module - enable QUIC and HTTP/3
--with-stream_quic_module - enable QUIC in Stream
A library that provides QUIC support is required to build nginx, there
are several of those available on the market:

4. Directives
Syntax: quic_bpf on | off;
Default: quic_bpf off;
Context: main
Enables routing of QUIC packets using eBPF.
When enabled, this allows to support QUIC connection migration.
The directive is only supported on Linux 5.7+.
Syntax: quic_retry on | off;
Default: quic_retry off;
Context: http | stream, server
Enables the QUIC Address Validation feature. This includes:
- sending a new token in a Retry packet or a NEW_TOKEN frame
- validating a token received in the Initial packet
Syntax: quic_gso on | off;
Default: quic_gso off;
Context: http | stream, server
Enables sending in optimized batch mode using segmentation offloading.
Optimized sending is only supported on Linux featuring UDP_SEGMENT.
Syntax: quic_mtu size;
Default: quic_mtu 65527;
Context: http | stream, server
Sets the QUIC max_udp_payload_size transport parameter value.
This is the maximum UDP payload that we are willing to receive.
Syntax: quic_host_key file;
Default: -
Context: http | stream, server
Specifies a file with the secret key used to encrypt stateless reset and
address validation tokens. By default, a randomly generated key is used.
Syntax: quic_active_connection_id_limit number;
Default: quic_active_connection_id_limit 2;
Context: http | stream, server
Sets the QUIC active_connection_id_limit transport parameter value.
This is the maximum number of connection IDs we are willing to store.
Syntax: quic_timeout time;
Default: quic_timeout 60s;
Context: stream, server
Defines a timeout used to negotiate the QUIC idle timeout.
In the http module, it is taken from the keepalive_timeout directive.
Syntax: quic_stream_buffer_size size;
Default: quic_stream_buffer_size 64k;
Context: stream, server
Syntax: http3_stream_buffer_size size;
Default: http3_stream_buffer_size 64k;
Context: http, server
Sets buffer size for reading and writing of the QUIC STREAM payload.
The buffer size is used to calculate initial flow control limits
in the following QUIC transport parameters:
- initial_max_data
- initial_max_stream_data_bidi_local
- initial_max_stream_data_bidi_remote
- initial_max_stream_data_uni
Syntax: http3_max_concurrent_pushes number;
Default: http3_max_concurrent_pushes 10;
Context: http, server
Limits the maximum number of concurrent push requests in a connection.
Syntax: http3_max_concurrent_streams number;
Default: http3_max_concurrent_streams 128;
Context: http, server
Sets the maximum number of concurrent HTTP/3 streams in a connection.
Syntax: http3_push uri | off;
Default: http3_push off;
Context: http, server, location
Pre-emptively sends (pushes) a request to the specified uri along with
the response to the original request. Only relative URIs with absolute
path will be processed, for example:
http3_push /static/css/main.css;
The uri value can contain variables.
Several http3_push directives can be specified on the same configuration
level. The off parameter cancels the effect of the http3_push directives
inherited from the previous configuration level.
Syntax: http3_push_preload on | off;
Default: http3_push_preload off;
Context: http, server, location
Enables automatic conversion of preload links specified in the “Link”
response header fields into push requests.
Syntax: http3_hq on | off;
Default: http3_hq off;
Context: http, server
Enables HTTP/0.9 protocol negotiation used in QUIC interoperability tests.
