BRAIN Journal-About the Design of QUIC Firefox Transport Protocol-Figure 1. TLS vs QUIC protocol stack

QUIC addresses many network problems such as the Head Of Line (HOL) blocking as well as the TCP reconnection over a subnet/network change. In addition, QUIC has many features such as connection IDs, which can overcome the challenge of changing networks. In this way, if someone switches from a WIFI network to a cellular network, the connection to the server will not be broken or lost. Paper (Langley and Chang, 2016) described the QUIC crypto protocol, representing the part of QUIC that provides transport security to a connection. The QUIC crypto protocol is now replaced by TLS 1.3. Currently, QUIC provides security of TLS 1.3 (in an experimental stage), considered the highest security standards for the communication protocols (Valsorda; 2016).
