layout: page title: QUIC connection protocol

This document describes the wire specification of QUIC. It is based on the following IETF drafts:

1.QUIC: A UDP-Based Multiplexed and Secure Transport draft-ietf-quic-transport-29.

  1. Using Transport Layer Security (TLS) to Secure QUIC draft-ietf-quic-tls-29.

The protocol is modeled as a stack of layers. Each layer is associated with one or more event types. The highest-level events in this stack correspond to the sending and receiving of application data, while the lowest-level events correspond to UDP datagrams. The layers in the stack are, from top to bottom:

  • The application
  • The TLS handshake protocol
  • The QUIC frame protocol
  • The QUIC packet protocol
  • QUIC packet protection
  • UDP
