QUIC Traffic Notes

QUIC is a useful protocol to study because it compresses several old transport assumptions into one place: encryption, multiplexing, reliability, and connection migration all live above UDP.

That design makes QUIC faster for many user-facing applications, but it also changes what network measurement and traffic analysis can observe. For my own networking research, QUIC is a good example of how protocol design, security, and operational visibility pull against each other.
