SMB over QUIC POC

I have had the distinct pleasure of being one of the first people to implement a SMB over QUIC POC. It was in a proof of concept I did with Windows Server 2022 Azure Edition in public preview.

That was a fun and educational excercise. As a result, I learned a lot. As a result, I decided to write a lab and test guide, primarily for my own reference. But also, to share my experience with others.

You can read the lab guide in a two part series of articles. SMB over QUIC: How to use it – Part I | StarWind Blog (starwindsoftware.com) and SMB over QUIC Testing Guide – Part II | StarWind Blog (starwindsoftware.com)

I am convinded it will fill a need for people that require remote access to SMB file shares without a VPN. Next to that, the integration with the KDC proxy service make it a Kerberos integrated solution. In addition, the KDC Prosy service has the added benefit of allowing for remote password changes.

If you need to get up to speed on what SMB over QUIC is all about I refer your to my article SMB over QUIC Technology | StarWind Blog (starwindsoftware.com). I’m sure that will bring you up to speed.

Finally, I hope you will find these articles useful. I’m pretty sure they will help you with your own SMB over QUIC POC and testing.

Thank your for reading!
