Next-generation Internet communication protocol 'QUIC' to replace TCP officially started, with the announcement of RFC 9000

The IETF , an Internet technology standards body, has announced RFC 9000 , which summarizes the technical specifications of QUIC , which is attracting attention as an alternative Internet communication protocol to TCP. Jana Eyanger, the creator of RFC 9000, explains the future of QUIC, which has officially decided to move to 'Version 1'.

QUIC is a new transport protocol developed to reduce the latency of TCP currently used on the Internet and improve its reliability and security. In May 2021, the IETF released RFC 9000, a technical specification for QUIC. According to Iyanger, the announcement of RFC 9000 means that QUIC has been formalized as version 1.

In addition to RFC 9000, is a property that does not depend on the version of QUIC

RFC 8999 , TLS was formulated protection QUIC by RFC 9001 , performs loss detection and congestion control RFC 9002 by, it QUIC is to start as a standard the following Internet Will be. Along with this announcement, the next-generation version of HTTP, ' HTTP / 3, ' originally called 'HTTP over QUIC, ' will soon be released.

Originally started as a protocol experimentally implemented by Google, QUIC has been officially released after about 5 years, 26 face-to-face meetings ,1749 issues , and thousands of email exchanges. I saw the completion. Iyanger recalls that there was a lot of heated debate leading up to the development of a protocol that would eliminate the long-standing TCP challenge of silos in the areas of transport, security, and applications.

'While the Internet transport ecosystem has become quite rigid over the last few decades, QUIC has a rich and high-performance suite of encryption, versioning, and more,' said Iyanger. Regain the flexibility of the Internet through its services. For its future, QUIC is ready to lead the next generation of Internet innovation, some of which are beginning to be realized by promising technologies such as MASQUE and Web Transport. I will. '
