In June 2013, Google announced the pilot project Quic, from Quick UDP Internet Connections, which aimed to speed up web connections.
The company today stated that it has managed to increase the traffic of its servers that use Quick UDP Internet Connections and the results are very encouraging.
Instead of using Internet TCP and TLS protocols, Quic can reduce page load time and buffering because it requires fewer conversations between clients and the server.
What's the secret?
Το νέο πρωτόκολλο καθιερώνει τη σύνδεση της χαμηλότερης λανθάνουσας κατάστασης, ιδιαίτερα για συσκευές που συνδέονται σε ένα συγκεκριμένο web server or a service they've connected to in the past, Google says:
[alert variation=”alert-info”]Ο συνήθης τρόπος για να κάνουμε μια ασφαλή περιήγηση στο Web ήταν να περάσουμε όλες τις επικοινωνίες μέσω των TCP + TLS, κάτι που απαιτεί 2 έως 3 ταξίδια μηνυμάτων από και προς ένα διακομιστή για να δημιουργηθεί μια ασφαλή σύνδεση πριν το πρόγραμμα περιήγησης ζητήσει την real web page.
The new protocol is designed so that when a client has talked at least once to a particular server before, it can start sending data without traveling withrestitutions, 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.Loss of data from a new protocol is reported to be much less than the TCP protocol: Google notes that YouTube users report 30% less rebuffering when they make streaming videos and there are disruptions in the connection.
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.
