So QUIC is an algorithm instead of a protocol?

Yeah, but LISP is as [in]accessible to end-users as BGP is and it will
be like that forever. It requires ISPs to opt-in to provide this. LISP
is not a universal option.
LISP matters to the Internet core, it doesn't matter to the whole Internet.
It is just not universal.

I just read about ILNP. ILNP is nice if you want to multihome nodes, but
virtualization (or spanning, for that matter, similar to anycasting) over
multiple data-centers will reach the limitations of ILNP. It is a step
ahead, but it is not an integral approach.
I wish my Debian mirror would just be the "mirror.debian.net" *service*
(not host), and the network could choose the best for me.
