As HTTP is a central protocol to the current adaptive streaming methods in all major over-the-top (OTT) services, an important question is what H3 will bring to the table for such services. Keywords: HTTP adaptive streaming,...
Read MoreYet the lure of HTTP was greater than the lure of truly efficient at-scale video streaming, so the second age of World Wide Web traffic contained even more TCP to the exclusion of UDP. I’m going to delve into HTTP/3 and...
Read MoreRFC 9000 (QUIC: A UDP-Based Multiplexed and Secure Transport) is version 1 of IETF QUIC, the core transport protocol. The IETF HTTP working group is extracting these version-independent semantics into two new documents:
Read MoreThe internet transport ecosystem has been ossified for decades now, and QUIC breaks out of this ossification — or growing inflexible over time — through encryption, versioning, and a much richer and more performant set of...
Read MoreQUIC is an encrypted transport protocol with better performance than HTTP and HTTP/2. While young, it’s already seeing some use in the larger internet companies who are learning how best to harness the optimisations.
Read MoreAs content owners and distributors flock to the internet to deliver live content, viewers and online broadcasters alike have discovered that IP-based delivery has a long way to go in terms of latency. Other new business cases...

Read MoreQUIC is *the* secure UDP-based transport for the modern Internet. It’s taken some time but in the 2019-2020 season, the IETF has edged ever closer to finishing "version 1". Vendors have been progressively deploying the poster child — HTTP/3 — onto the Web and its going to soon be the new normal. Now we need to see what’s hot in the upcoming 2020-2021 season. Eyes are turning to e[…]
Read MoreThere’s a lot to like about HTTP/3 from encryption as standard, faster set-up time, better compression and promises better throughput by removing head-of-line blocking. A new protocol making its way through the IETF and based on QUIC, this could have… Continue Reading →
Read MoreWhen the specifications are eventually published as RFCs, all implementations will support HTTP/3, which will use QUIC version 1. QUIC and HTTP/3 interoperability Changing an internet protocol, especially a transport protocol...
