IETF publishes QUIC as RFC 9000
QUIC was originally designed by Jim Roskind of Google, implemented and deployed in 2012, and was publicly released in 2013 as the scope of the experiment expanded and described to IETF. In June 2015, the Internet draft of the QUIC specification was submitted to the IETF for standardization. In 2016, the QUIC working group was established. In October 2018, the IETF HTTP working group and the QUIC working group jointly decided to call the HTTP mapping on QUIC “HTTP/3” in order to make it a global standard in advance.
QUIC aims to provide reliability almost equivalent to TCP connection, but with greatly reduced latency. One of the reasons is that it greatly reduces overhead during connection creation. QUIC uses the UDP protocol as its basis and does not include loss recovery.
