Google 之前打造的 SPDY (pronounced speedy) 有可能成為新一代 HTTP 2.0 的 Protocol 規範之一, 現在又看到取代 UDP (User Datagram Protocol) 的替代品 QUIC (pronounced Quick).
Google 為 Chrome 開發 QUIC 用來替代 UDP
目前 QUIC 已經整合進 Chrome、Chromium Source code 裡面了, 詳可見下述:
QUIC 簡介
下述取自 QUIC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
QUIC also focuses on data streams, with the extra benefit of adding a built-in encryption layer and some reliability and performance enhancements, including forward error correction.
From examination of the code it seems like its main use is to run a TCP-like flow and congestion control mechanism over UDP. This would allow more control to the application rather than in the OS.
不過目前都還沒看到 Google 有發任何新聞稿, 只有在 TechCrunch 看到此篇: Looks Like Google Is Working On A UDP Replacement Called QUIC, 到底後續會如何還不知道~ 先做個記錄囉~ 🙂
