Hi, everyone.
My name is Chris Greer, and welcome to my course,
Protocol Deep Dive; The QUIC Protocol.
I'm a network analyst and Wireshark instructor at Packet Pioneer,
and I'm excited to dig into this rapidly emerging protocol with you.
Now,
TCP has been the dominant transport protocol under the hood of
most applications and services for over 40 years,
but now it has a competitor.
First invented at Google and now in the hands of the IETF,
QUIC is already being used today to deliver many of the
web services that we know and love.
Now, a lot of this has happened under our noses over the past few years.
But with QUIC becoming a standard,
we will soon see it deployed all over the internet to deliver
web and mobile applications to end users.
This course will cover the key concepts about QUIC that every network engineer,
developer, and cybersecurity professional should know.
Some of the major topics that we'll cover include the
core differences between TCP and QUIC, why a new transport protocol was needed,
how QUIC securely and reliably transports data,
and we'll look into some tools for testing and
validating QUIC. By the end of this course,
you will understand how to analyze,
validate, and troubleshoot the QUIC protocol. Before beginning
the course, you should be familiar with basic networking
concepts and the Wireshark analyzer.
I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn QUIC,
the new competitor to TCP, with this Protocol Deep Dive, course here, at Pluralsight.
