QUIC is Google's new multiplexing protocol that runs over UDP instead of TCP. It inherits features from SPDY like stream multiplexing and header compression. QUIC aims to reduce latency through techniques like 0-RTT connection establishment and bypassing head-of-line blocking. It supports pluggable congestion control algorithms and provides resilience to packet loss through FEC and running over UD
