Here's our take.

SCTP

Nice Pick

Developers should learn SCTP when working on systems requiring robust, fault-tolerant network communication, such as telephony (e

Pros

• g
• Related to: tcp, udp

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

QUIC

Developers should learn QUIC when building high-performance web applications, especially those requiring low-latency connections like video streaming, online gaming, or real-time communication services

Pros

• It's particularly useful for optimizing mobile and unreliable network environments, as it reduces connection setup time and handles packet loss more efficiently than traditional TCP/TLS stacks
• Related to: http-3, tls-1-3

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use SCTP if: You want g and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use QUIC if: You prioritize it's particularly useful for optimizing mobile and unreliable network environments, as it reduces connection setup time and handles packet loss more efficiently than traditional tcp/tls stacks over what SCTP offers.

The Bottom Line

SCTP wins

Developers should learn SCTP when working on systems requiring robust, fault-tolerant network communication, such as telephony (e
