The QUIC transport protocol, which may replace TCP for a lot ofusages, specially HTTP, is now a standard:

QUIC is very much designed for the Web, with its special requirments,such as parallel downloading of several resources. Gemini, beingsimpler, may be less interested and may stay with TCP. Although thelower latency of QUIC, partly due to the merge with TLS, may beinteresting since Gemini always uses TLS.
