Looks like it may be coming from Chrome browser.   Has blocking QUIC
affected your Chrome experience i.e. does it switch to regular TCP
connection?
Do you have any pcap file(s) to share what's the destination IP?
(guessing they are Google IPs).

Although the protocol seems to address an interesting problem, there's
HTTP2.0 (SPDY) which is already implemented in Firefox (client) and
Apache (server -- mod_spdy).

PS - I haven't done any setup or testing with SPDY.
