People in general don't understand what TCP is. Drives my insane. In practice, is it even possible to replace anything else than web traffic with QUIC today?

- skyde 4y agoyes Quic is not just HTTP. its a connection protocol
- AtNightWeCode 4y agoIn theory it is a transport layer protocol like TCP but QUIC seems to mostly be used for specific application layer protocols. And I have discussions probably every month with people arguing that "it is just TCP" and you have to explain to them that no, there is no way to do SFTP through a WAF or to run a database on that cloud service and so on.
- skyde 4y agoagain quic is not just Http. you can proxy an sftp connexion through quic. By having a (tcp to quic) gateway at the source and a (quic to tcp) relay at the destination. I have seen this implemented in production!
