It seems to me that Boost does not support DTLS so far, any plan and time line for boost to support DTLS?

There's a pull request for adding DTLS to Asio which is now over 2 years old: https://github.com/chriskohlhoff/asio/pull/129 This is just my opinion, but given the lack of responsiveness of the author to GitHub issues and pull requests, I would not expect to see it appearing in Asio any time soon, if at all. That said, Asio's concept-based design should be powerful enough to allow anyone to write a DTLS implementation on top of it, as I have done for HTTP and WebSocket in Boost.Beast. It is about time we stopped expecting one person to write everything and started sharing the responsibility for filling in the missing gaps in the networking support for C++. If anyone wants to take up the task of turning that pull request above into a stand-alone library, I would be more than happy to mentor them and provide Asio guidance and best practices advice. Thanks
