QUIC for the kernel
The QUIC transport-layer network protocol is not exactly new; it was first covered here in 2013 [...]
TCP was not designed to support multiple simultaneous data streams; it suffers from head-of-line blocking, in which a dropped packet brings everything to a halt. The protocol is supported by a lot of software — particularly web browsers — found on a typical Linux system and is said to handle a majority of the connections to Google's servers, but the implementation is entirely in user space. At this point, though, the evolution of the protocol has slowed, and minds are naturally turning toward kernel implementations, which hold the potential for better performance while making QUIC easily available to a wider range of applications.
