QUIC, A High-Performance Transport Protocol for the Modern Web
The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) has been the dominant transport protocol used on the Internet for over three decades. However, as the demands of the modern web have evolved, TCP’s limitations have become more apparent. To address these issues, Google developed the QUIC protocol, which provides a high-performance, secure, and reliable transport layer for modern web applications. In this article, we will dive into the technical details of QUIC, its design principles, and its benefits over TCP.
