HTTP-over-QUIC will officially become HTTP/3
Ok, so there have been literally decades spent in managing and optimising TCP to behave in various network conditions, from modem lines to multi-gigabit fiber, in all kinds of congestion conditions, lossy-ness, and other hairy edge cases of real physical networks.So, what's the point of ditching all that and reinventing HTTP over a thin wrapper (UDP) over (lossy) IP? Has there been a huge theoretical breakthrough which simply can't be applied to TCP?
