Offload Edge-to-HTTP/3 Cloud over 1G Ethernet on FPGA with QUIC1G-IP

As edge devices continue to generate massive amounts of data, secure and efficient connectivity from the edge to cloud services has become a critical design challenge. Yet many edge platforms still rely on software-based networking stacks, resulting in high CPU load, unpredictable performance, and long integration cycles.

What if your FPGA could connect directly to HTTP/3 cloud services—securely and efficiently—over standard 1G Ethernet, without a heavy software stack?

This is exactly what QUIC1GC-IP enables.

🌐 Edge-to-Cloud Networking Is Changing

Modern edge systems—industrial gateways, embedded appliances, IoT aggregators, and FPGA-based accelerators—must communicate with cloud infrastructures that increasingly use QUIC and HTTP/3.

However, implementing QUIC purely in software often leads to:

CPU bottlenecks from TLS encryption
Unpredictable performance under load
Complex integration and maintenance
Limited scalability for high-volume edge deployments

QUIC1GC-IP from Design Gateway addresses these challenges by moving QUIC v1, TLS 1.3, and HTTP/3 connectivity entirely into FPGA hardware logic.

🔐 What Is QUIC1GC-IP?

QUIC1GC-IP is a pure hardware-logic QUIC client IP core for FPGA, designed specifically for edge-to-cloud communication over 1 Gigabit Ethernet.

By implementing QUIC and TLS 1.3 in hardware, QUIC1GC-IP transforms FPGA platforms into high-performance HTTP/3 edge clients, capable of streaming data securely and efficiently to cloud endpoints—without relying on a full software networking stack.

⚙️ Why QUIC1GC-IP for FPGA Edge Systems?

✅ Pure Hardware QUIC Client (QUIC v1)

Offloads transport-layer processing from software and CPU, enabling higher throughput and more predictable behavior on embedded edge platforms.

🔐 TLS 1.3 in Hardware

Provides strong, modern security while significantly reducing CPU load—critical for edge devices exposed to external networks and cloud services.

🌍 Native HTTP/3 Connectivity

Directly compatible with modern cloud infrastructures using HTTP/3 over QUIC, simplifying edge-to-cloud integration.

🔌 Optimized for 1G Ethernet

Designed for mainstream edge deployments where 1GbE remains the dominant interface, balancing performance, cost, and scalability.

⚡ Lower CPU Usage, Higher Determinism

Delivers more stable latency and performance compared to software stacks—ideal for industrial, real-time, and mission-critical edge workloads.

🔄 Efficient Multiplexed QUIC Streams

Supports multiple logical data flows over a single connection, reducing head-of-line blocking compared to TCP-based designs.

🚀 Faster Edge-to-Cloud Deployment

Shortens development and integration time by providing a ready-to-use hardware IP core for secure cloud connectivity.
