Re:How to Interchange Ed25519 Keys on Friday April 23, 2021 @11:17AM (#26915591)
JWK is a good option for representing public keys, for an Ed25519 key you would have something like this:

{ "kty":"OKP", "crv":"Ed25519", "x":"oF0a6lgwrJplzfs4RmDUl-NpfEa0Gc8s7IXei9JFRZ0" }

I don't think you'd need to target specific wallets, you'd probably just generate a ton of keys and match them against any known wallets.
It's been a while since I caught up on the BBR work, are there any ways to tweak the algorithm for cases where you want 'increased fairness' – ie. deferring to other data streams because the current one is a lower priority? This would probably mean approximating LEDBAT, which is often used in large backgrounded file downloads like system updates.

Wow, I knew it was using SCTP but I didn't know that was inside the DTLS channel. That seems like a lot of overhead.

The spec still says NewReno, but I believe Google are mainly using BBR, if not BBR v2.
