QUIC

QUIC stands for Quick UDP Internet Connections. It's a new internet protocol that helps make connections between computers faster. It does this by using UDP (User Datagram Protocol) instead of TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) which is the traditional way computers send data over the internet. UDP sends data quickly, but it doesn't guarantee that all the data will arrive in the same order it was sent. QUIC solves this problem by using something called acknowledgements which is like a way for two computers to agree that data was received correctly. This way, computers can communicate faster and with more reliability.
