Actually, that's not a problem with one reused connection versus N simultaneous connections (as coddle-hark said, the connections are made in parallel). It's a problem with how many round trips it takes to set up each connection.
- mcqueenjordan 6y agoWhen you open and depend on N connections, your total time is now linked to the worst performing of those N connections. As N increases, so does the latency, because it’s a long tail.
- coddle-hark 6y agoThe same holds for N QUIC streams though.
- CydeWeys 6y agoYou need much fewer QUIC streams to move the same amount of total files than you need TCP connections, because each stream handles multiple files.
