QUIC

The QUIC protocol

Streaming QUIC

QUIC is the transport protocol for the HTTP/3.0 standard

It offers much higher bandwidth and reliability and decreases the impact of packet loss compared to legacy TCP based HTTP

Streaming using QUIC improves bandwidth from 15 - 250%, especially over long distances

QUIC is a very complicated protocol and supporting the protocol is a work in progress for most channels

As a part of geo-protection TCP streaming protocols have been modified to reduce bandwidth as the distance between server and user increases. QUIC is so complicated that messing with the QUIC protocol is not happening. QUIC always delivers full bandwidth

SmartStreaming is the only Smart DNS that has the technology to stream QUIC

So far the following channels are using the QUIC protocol to stream content:
