QUIC: Next-Gen Multiplexed Transport over UDP 🚀

Brian Rogan, Google.
Ian Swett, Google

QUIC is a new transport protocol that runs on top of UDP. It is currently deployed to a significant fraction of Chrome users of Google services. It combines TCP-style congestion control, TLS-grade security, and HTTP/2 multiplexing. Our measurements on real-world traffic show that QUIC significantly decreases page load times and time between pauses in video playbacks. Google will continue scaling up the use of QUIC on the public internet over the next few months, with the goal of sending all Google traffic over QUIC. This talk will discuss how QUIC works, why it's an improvement over TCP, the problems we're anticipating as we deploy at scale, and what we're doing to prevent them. - See more at: https://www.nanog.org/meetings/nanog64/agenda#sthash.a55D6exu.dpuf
