In this Internet world, Speed seems to be one of the major issue every user is facing. Every user wants higher bandwidth. Recently Google developed a new protocol that can speed up the existing Internet speed.
The newly developed protocol is known as #QUIC ( Quick UDP Internet Connections ). The protocol seems to be new but it has been implemented in Chrome browser earlier.
#QUIC is a low latency transport protocol for the modern Internet over UDP. UDP is used for streaming media, gaming and VoIP services where data loss is not a major issue.
The giant Google already implemented the experimental protocol into chrome in June 2013. One of the key feature of the protocol is that it runs a stream multiplexing protocol on top of UDP instead of TCP.
QUIC also reduces the network Round-Trip Time ( RTT ) for increasing the speed that is the time it takes to establish a connection to a server.
Some of the highlights of QUIC are as follows
1. Packet pacing to reduce packet loss.
2. A pluggable congestion control mechanism.
3. UDP transport to avoid TCP head-of-line blocking.
4. High Security.
5. Packet error correction.
6. A Connection identifier.
The main goal is the Zero-RTT connectivity overhead and SPDY support. SPDY is a protocol by Google for upcoming HTTP/2.
P.S : The post is to create awareness and not to be misused.
