How QUIC Achieves Reliable Transmission Over UDP and Solves TCP’s Head‑of‑Line Blocking

This article explains how QUIC implements reliable transmission on top of UDP by using monotonic packet numbers, stream IDs and offsets, independent flow‑control windows, and integrated TLS, thereby eliminating TCP’s retransmission ambiguity, head‑of‑line blocking, and improving congestion control and connection migration.
