http3

The evolution of web protocols over the years has consistently aimed at making the web faster, more reliable, and secure. HTTP/3, the upcoming third major version of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol, uses QUIC as the underlying transport layer network protocol, replacing TCP at the same time. QUIC (Quick UDP Internet Connections) was originally designed by Google to provide security equivalent to TLS/SSL along with reduced connection and transport latency. The incorporation of QUIC into HTTP/3 means websites can benefit from improved performance particularly on networks with high latency and packet loss. Let’s take a look at how to configure QUIC (HTTP/3) with the Apache HTTP Server.
