What is QUIC and why is it better?

For decades TCP has been the standard transmission control protocol, until Google’s QUIC protocol disrupted the structured TCP concept, basing it over UDP and adding application level features for enhancing connectivity and security.

Fast connection establishment

Running over UDP reduces latency using a single handshake for establishing the network connection.

Fully secured connection

Authenticated by TLS 1.3, all packets throughout the connection are encrypted, thus SMB over QUIC acts like a built-in VPN.

Smart packet loss management

A packet header mechanism ensures recovery in case of high loss-rate, and packets requiring a reliable delivery are re-sent.

Connection migration

QUIC assigns its own ID regardless of IPs and ports, allowing it to seamlessly switch between cellular, WI-FI, and wired networks, or upon any IP or port change.

Better congestion control

A single session holds simultaneous data streams, avoiding head-of-line blocking, given UDP isn’t bound to order.

Revisited connections are established even faster

A session ticket allows reconnecting faster to previously visited servers.

No need for VPN!

The QUIC protocol replaces the need for connecting via VPN, making connections to remote servers and branch networking faster, simpler and more efficient. All packets throughout the connection are encrypted, and the handshake is authenticated with TLS 1.3, which is faster, more secure, and discards the need of multiple handshakes for establishing a network connection. The QUIC protocol creates an encrypted connection over a standard TLS port 443 instead of the legacy TCP port 445, providing full security and acting like a built-in VPN.

scalable and portable SMB

Highly scalable and portable SMB over QUIC

SMB over QUIC provides higher performance connectivity to file servers, with a built-in encryption on the transport layer for enhanced security, enabling copying, moving, and modifying terabytes of user data, and discarding the need of connecting via VPN, from the internet to Azure, to on-prem entities, and more.

 

Configuring SMB over QUIC is very simple. QUIC is supported from Windows Server 2022 and Windows 11, having full compatibility with existing features, thus all SMB features such as signing and encryption continue working as usual.
