Building Zero protocol for fast, secure mobile connections | Engineering Blog | Facebook Code | Facebook

Not too long ago, I mentioned an article about QUIC, Google’s protocol that uses UDP instead of TCP to make transfers to a client even faster than HTTP/2. Now Facebook shares details about their even faster Zero protocol that builds on top of QUIC while still being compatible with TCP. I like that there’s now an alternative to Google’s approach and that people think about innovating the core of the Internet, the network itself, again.
