QUIC and HTTP/3: The Transport Protocol Replacing TCP

The QUIC protocol runs over UDP and eliminates the slow handshake of separate TCP plus TLS negotiations, letting HTTP/3 open connections in a single round trip or even zero. This guide explains how it works internally, how to test it with curl and nginx, and when it makes sense over HTTP/2.
