general-purpose transport for multiple applications.

QUIC implements techniques learned from experience with TCP, SCTP and other
transport protocols. Using UDP as the substrate, QUIC seeks to be compatible
with legacy clients and middleboxes. QUIC authenticates all of its headers and
encrypts most of the data it exchanges, including its signaling. This allows
the protocol to evolve without incurring a dependency on upgrades to
middleboxes.
This document describes the core QUIC protocol, including the conceptual design,
wire format, and mechanisms of the QUIC protocol for connection establishment,
stream multiplexing, stream and connection-level flow control, and data
reliability.

{{QUIC-RECOVERY}}, and the use of TLS 1.3 for key negotiation {{QUIC-TLS}}.
