QUIC: A UDP-Based Multiplexed and Secure Transport
RFC 9000, “QUIC: A UDP-Based Multiplexed and Secure Transport”, is a Proposed Standard document published in May 2021 by J. Iyengar, M. Thomson. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines the core of the QUIC transport protocol. QUIC provides applications with flow-controlled streams for structured communication, low-latency connection establishment, and network path migration. QUIC includes security measures that ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability in a range of deployment circumstances. Accompanying documents describe the integration of TLS for key negotiation, loss detection, and an exemplary congestion control algorithm.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
