QUIC Protocol

QUIC (Quick UDP Internet Connections) is a modern internet protocol designed to make data transfer faster and more secure. Instead of using traditional methods, it works over UDP (a lightweight communication protocol) to reduce connection setup time and improve performance. QUIC offers features like built-in encryption, connection multiplexing—allowing multiple data streams simultaneously—and better handling of network changes. This results in quicker webpage loading, improved streaming, and more reliable online experiences, especially on fluctuating networks, enhancing overall efficiency and security for internet communications.
