+Crafter.Network is a comprehensive networking library designed for modern C++ applications. It provides TCP, HTTP, and QUIC networking capabilities with support for synchronous and asynchronous operations, making it suitable for a wide range of networking tasks including real-time multiplayer games.
 
 ## Features
 
 - **TCP Networking**: Client and server implementations for TCP connections
 - **HTTP Support**: Full HTTP client and server implementations with routing capabilities
+- **QUIC Networking**: Encrypted, multi-stream transport via msquic — reliable streams for control plane, unreliable datagrams for low-latency state sync
 - **Asynchronous Operations**: Thread pool-based async operations for improved performance
 - **Cross-Platform**: Built for Unix-like systems with socket-based networking
 - **Modern C++**: Uses C++ modules, STL containers, and modern C++ features

 ### Core Modules
 - `Crafter.Network`: Main module that exports all components

+- `Crafter.Network:ListenerTCP`: TCP server implementation

 ## Dependencies
 
 - Crafter.Thread: Thread pool management for asynchronous operations
+- **msquic** — fetched and built automatically as a Crafter `ExternalDependency` (no system install required). The build clones `microsoft/msquic` recursively into the per-project external cache, configures it via CMake (`QUIC_TLS_LIB=quictls`, tests/tools/perf disabled), and links the produced `libmsquic` into the QUIC modules.
+  - On Linux msquic links against `libnuma` (provided by the `numactl` package on most distros).
