This document defines the core of the QUIC transport protocol. QUIC provides applications with flow-controlled streams for structured communication, low-latency connection establishment, and network path migration. QUIC includes security measures that ensure confidentiality, integrity, and availability in a range of deployment circumstances. Accompanying documents describe the integration of TLS for key negotiation, loss detection, and an exemplary congestion control algorithm. DO NOT DEPLOY THIS VERSION OF QUIC DO NOT DEPLOY THIS VERSION OF QUIC UNTIL IT IS IN AN RFC. This version is still a work in progress. For trial deployments, please use earlier versions.
