Chrome is deploying HTTP/3 and IETF QUIC
QUIC was initially developed by Google and first announced in 2013. Since then, the protocol has matured, and is now responsible for carrying over a third of Google traffic. In 2015, Google brought QUIC to the IETF (the standards organization responsible for maintaining the Internet's protocols) and the IETF has been improving QUIC by making many changes to it. At this point, there are now two similar but different protocols: Google QUIC and IETF QUIC. The QUIC team at Google has been involved in the IETF process from the start, but we've been using Google QUIC in Chrome while working on implementing IETF QUIC. We've put tremendous effort into evolving Google QUIC over the last five years to track changes at IETF, and the current latest Google QUIC version (Q050) has many similarities with IETF QUIC. But up until now, the majority of Chrome users didn't communicate with IETF QUIC servers without enabling some command-line options.Today this changes. We've found that IETF QUIC significantly outperforms HTTP over TLS 1.3 over TCP. In particular, Google search latency decreases by over 2%. YouTube rebuffer time decreased by over 9%, while client throughput increased by over 3% on desktop and over 7% on mobile. We're happy to announce that Chrome is rolling out support for IETF QUIC (specifically, draft version h3-29). Today 25% of Chrome Stable users are using h3-29, and we plan on increasing that number over the coming weeks as we continue to monitor performance data. Chrome will actively support both IETF QUIC h3-29 and Google QUIC Q050 to provide servers that support Q050 with time to update to IETF QUIC.
