# Introduction

QUIC is a new multiplexed and secure transport atop UDP. QUIC builds on decades
of transport and security experience, and implements mechanisms that make it
attractive as a modern general-purpose transport. The QUIC protocol is
described in {{QUIC-TRANSPORT}}.

QUIC implements the spirit of existing TCP congestion control and loss recovery
mechanisms, described in RFCs, various Internet-drafts, and also those prevalent
in the Linux TCP implementation. This document describes QUIC congestion
control and loss recovery, and where applicable, attributes the TCP equivalent
in RFCs, Internet-drafts, academic papers, and/or TCP implementations.
