We’ve all heard much about QUIC in the past few years, and a lot has been made of its performance benefits for HTTP/3. For some of us however, HTTP/3 was always just the beginning, just the vehicle for us to get QUIC out into the world. This talk will go beyond these immediate benefits of QUIC and present my view on our somewhat anticipated sleight of hand. The talk will discuss QUIC’s long-term value proposition for the Internet’s architecture, including some recent projects and a broad sketch of where it can go.
