QUIC: Google's New Secure UDP-Based Protocol

Posted by Soulskill on from the set-for-a-twelve-year-beta-test dept.

New submitter jshurst1 writes "Google has announced QUIC, a stream multiplexing protocol running over a new variation of TLS, as well as UDP. The new protocol offers connectivity with a reduced number of round trips, strong security, and pluggable congestion control. QUIC is in experiment now for Chrome dev and canary users connecting to Google websites."

    Maybe if you would RTFA instead of pontificating, you would have found that the reference QUIC implementation is already open source, the specification is open, the wire specification is open, the whole thing is open. If you don't trust Google's implementation then roll your own.
