Iroh is QUIC. We are not trying to reinvent the wheel here, just combining existing IETF RFCs in a creative way.

Here is a concrete problem we solve. You have one device in your home WLAN behind a NAT. Your other device is in a 4g network, or behind another NAT at work.

In most cases we can give you a direct connection between the two devices very quickly via hole punching, so you get the highest possible bandwidth and the lowest possible latency.

This was not a solved problem until now.
