+## QUIC
+
+### In Version
+
+0.4.18
+
+### State
+
+Experiment, disabled by default
+
+### How to enable
+
+Modify your ipfs config:
+
+```
+ipfs config --json Experimental.QUIC true
+```
+
+For listening on a QUIC address, add it the swarm addresses, e.g. `/ip4/0.0.0.0/udp/4001/quic`.
+
+
+### Road to being a real feature
+
+- [ ] The IETF QUIC specification needs to be finalised.
+- [ ] Make sure QUIC connections work reliably
+- [ ] Make sure QUIC connection offer equal or better performance than TCP connections on real world networks
+- [ ] Finalize libp2p-TLS handshake spec.
