Faster, Smoother Streaming with HTTP/3 and QUIC

TulixCDN Launches HTTP/3 on QUIC

"HLS over HTTP/3 (QUIC)" is a modern delivery method for Live TV streaming that starts playback faster and performs better on mobile and unstable networks. Unlike legacy HLS, which relies on older TCP connections, HTTP/3 uses QUIC to reduce buffering, recover faster from packet loss, and maintain smooth playback when users switch between Wi-Fi and cellular networks. The video format remains standard HLS, so it works seamlessly with existing players while delivering a better viewing experience.

Why It's Time to Move Your HLS Streaming to HTTP/3/QUIC with Tulix - Now, Not "Someday"

If you're still delivering HLS over HTTP/1.1 or even HTTP/2, you're leaving performance, reliability, and real money on the table. HTTP/3 over QUIC is here, and Tulix Systems, Inc. is turning it into a decisive competitive advantage for serious streaming services.

The Problem: Classic HLS + Legacy HTTP = Latency, Jitter, and Lost Viewers

High and inconsistent latency - Classic HLS often introduces 15-30 seconds of delay. Even with low-latency tweaks, TCP head-of-line blocking and slow recovery from packet loss cap how low you can realistically go.
Fragile mobile experiences - Viewers on congested 4G/5G and Wi-Fi see stutters, rebuffering, and wild quality swings whenever packets are lost or networks change.
Scale vs. interactivity trade-offs - You can have robust, cache-friendly HTTP delivery or ultra-low latency-but getting both has historically required complex, multi-protocol stacks and engineering overhead.

Faster, Smoother Streaming with HTTP/3 and QUIC on Tulix

Streaming audiences expect instant playback, smooth video, and reliable performance -no matter the network or location. Yet many delivery technologies powering today's platforms were built long before mobile streaming, global audiences, and real-time media became the norm.

That's why Tulix now supports HTTP/3 and QUIC, next-generation transport technologies designed to deliver faster, more reliable, and more secure streaming experiences

Traditional Delivery

Single-connection delivery slows everything down when network conditions change.

Slow start times
Buffering on mobile
Higher latency globally

HTTP/3 + QUIC

A modern delivery protocol designed for today's networks.

Multiple streams run independently
Traffic keeps moving during packet loss
Faster, more resilient connections

Upgrade Benefits

Designed to improve playback quality and reliability at scale.

Faster playback start
Fewer interruptions
Better mobile performance
Built-in security

Important note: Tulix CDN continues to deliver a high-quality streaming experience on legacy HTTP protocols, with global reach, optimized caching, and proven reliability. HTTP/3 + QUIC builds on this foundation to further improve performance in challenging network conditions.
