| Just an interesting observation I had about this once when I noticed that kernel quic implementations weren't very fast. KTLS is mostly useful if paired with sendfile (I'm ignoring io_uring because I'm not as up to date on that). Otherwise you have to context switch back to userspace constantly. |

| Assuming the files are encrypted anyway for DRM reasons: why should static content like movies be TLSed? I know I know, "TLS all the things", but it sounds like a high cost at Netflix scale. |

Apparently 15% of Netflix viewing happens in browsers. Inside an Apple TV app, the default requires TLS 1.2 or later and while exceptions are apparently allowed (including for media streaming) they are discouraged and require a justification for App Store review: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/preventin... | |
