"Is not UDP"... If it has protocol set to 17 it is UDP.So QUIC is an algorithm instead of a protocol?it's as much a protocol as http is.. I suppose my point is that it's some protocol which uses udp as the transport. Because of this I don't see any (really) kernel/stack changes required, right? it's just something the application needs to work out with it's peer(s). No different from http vs smtp...SCTP was layer 4, if QUIC is the same, than it will too. If QUIC is layer 5 up, it won't. That might be the difference (I haven't looked into QUIC).
From the FAQ, QUIC is an experiment that they're building on top of UDP to test out what a new layer 4 transport protocol built with modern http in mind ought to look like. They say that they eventually want to fold the results back into TCP (if possible, but given their goals it doesn't seem especially likely that the result would still be TCP). Mike
