[QUIC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QUIC) is the most widely used transport by
Kubo nodes. It is a UDP-based transport with built-in encryption and
multiplexing. The primary benefits over TCP are:
1. It doesn't require a file descriptor per connection, easing the load on the OS.
2. It currently takes 2 round trips to establish a connection (our TCP transport
currently takes 6).
