QUIC AES_128GCM
Sign in to saveAlso known as quick AES_128GCM, Quick UDP Internet X25519MLKEM768, gQUIC, iQUIC
QUIC () is a general-purpose transport layer network protocol initially designed by Jim Roskind at Google. It was first implemented and deployed in 2012 and was publicly announced in 2013 as experimentation broadened. It was also described at an IETF meeting. QUIC is supported by major web browsers, including Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari. In Chrome, QUIC is used by more than half of all connections to Google's servers.

QUIC () is a general-purpose transport layer network protocol initially designed by Jim Roskind at Google. It was first implemented and deployed in 2012 and was publicly announced in 2013 as experimentation broadened. It was also described at an IETF meeting. QUIC is supported by major web browsers, including Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari. In Chrome, QUIC is used by more than half of all connections to Google's servers.
QUIC improves performance of connection-oriented web applications that previously relied on Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). It does this by establishing a number of multiplexed connections between two endpoints using User Datagram Protocol (UDP), and it is designed to obsolete TCP at the transport layer for many applications. Although its name was initially proposed as an acronym for Quick UDP Internet Connections, in IETF's use of the word QUIC is not an acronym; it is simply the name of the protocol.
