In June 2013, Google announced the pilot project Quic, from Quick UDP Internet Connections, which aimed to speed up web connections. The company today said it has managed to boost the traffic of its servers using Quick UDP Internet Connections and the Results they are very encouraging.
Αντί να χρησιμοποιεί τα πρωτόκολλα του Internet tcp και TLS, το Quic μπορεί να μειώσει το χρόνο φόρτωσης της σελίδας και του buffering διότι απαιτεί λιγότερες talks between the clients and the server.
What's the secret?
The new protocol establishes the connection of the lower latency, especially for devices connected to a specific web server or a previously logged-in service, says Google:
[alert variation=”alert-info”]The usual way to do a safe tour on the Web was to pass all communications over TCP + TLS, which requires 2 to 3 message trips to and from a server to establish a secure connection before program browser request the actual website.
The new protocol is designed so that when a client has spoken to a particular server at least once before, they can start sending non-return data, which makes web pages load much faster.
[/ alert] Google reports that approximately 50% of all Chrome applications on Google servers are served by Quic, resulting in faster loading of results search.The data loss from the new protocol is said to be much less than what TCP provides: Google notes that its users YouTube they report 30% less rebuffering when streaming video and there are connection drops.
The company plans to propose, to do so Quick UDP Internet Connections, an official model of the web in the future, as it continues its experiment, making additional improvements.
