A thing I always notice about new tech is a failure to simply and concicsely explain what it is. I had to click through a few links and I still couldn’t find a one paragraph summary of what quic was. If it doesn’t have a large number of influencers mind share it won’t move quickly (don’t mean that absolutely)
- jbergstroem 8y agoThe second paragraph opens up with a “what is quic” and links to another post. Perhaps give that a read?
- scegit 8y agoYou can read about IETF QUIC here https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-quic-transport/ https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-quic-transport/ HTTP over QUIC is now HTTP/3. "HTTP/3 is just a new HTTP syntax that works on IETF QUIC, a UDP-based multiplexed and secure transport"
- aboutruby 8y agoQUIC is likely to be implemented first by large internet service providers (Google (who made it), Amazon, Cloudflare, etc.) and there slowly come to all the various open source projects and various software installed on every computer. Just having the major internet services and browsers implementing it already makes a sizable difference.

- spc476 8y agoA crude, TL;DR is that QUIC is just TCP over UDP.
