⚡ WHY TCP + TLS FAILED THE MODERN WEB:
Legacy Protocol Problems:
❌ Head-of-Line Blocking: One slow packet delays entire connection
❌ Multiple Round Trips: TCP + TLS requires 3+ handshakes
❌ Connection Drops: Wi-Fi to cellular switch kills sessions
❌ Middlebox Issues: Firewalls and routers break modern features
❌ Slow Evolution: 30-year-old protocols can't adapt quickly
❌ Mobile Penalty: High latency networks suffer disproportionately
QUIC's Brilliant Solutions:
✅ UDP Foundation: Bypasses TCP limitations entirely
✅ Stream Multiplexing: Independent streams prevent blocking
✅ 0-RTT Resumption: Instant reconnection for repeat visits
✅ Connection Migration: Same session across network changes
✅ Crypto Agility: Future-proof security upgrades
✅ Mobile Optimization: Designed for lossy, high-latency networks
