What Hacker News says

2 sources
I've played with QUIC [1] and SCTP [2]. QUIC does not have good documentation and SCTP's userlevel library feels like it's intended on being used a certain way (one-to-one sockets) and is easy to use incorrectly, which makes me uneasy about the quality of its code. I really wish there was a solid "TCP replacement" with optional reliability, optional ordering and multiplexing that I can run over real networks as user level code, among other features. But the view from the ground from what I've seen is that people either use TCP or build their own protocol that runs over UDP (I'm thinking about games specifically here). Am I missing an option here? Maybe I should dig into libquic and really figure out how to use it and if it can do what I want.
