  Description     : QUIC, a multiplexed stream transport over UDP

Standalone library for https://www.chromium.org/quic - it contains
code from Chromium to implement the QUIC protocol.

QUIC is a new transport which reduces latency compared to that of TCP. On the surface, QUIC is very similar to TCP+TLS+HTTP/2 implemented on UDP.

The GitHub repository is not an official Google product and does not have releases (yet).

However, having QUIC as a library would allow using the protocol in other applications.
