"The QUIC working group will provide a standards-track specification for
a UDP-based, stream-multiplexing, encrypted transport protocol, based
on pre-standardization implementation and deployment experience, ...


Key goals for QUIC are:

- Minimizing connection establishment and overall transport latency
for applications, starting with HTTP/2;
- Providing multiplexing without head-of-line blocking;
- Requiring only changes to path endpoints to enable deployment;
- *** Enabling multipath *** and forward error correction extensions; and
- Providing always-secure transport, using TLS 1.3 by default."
