How this entity was disambiguated

This entity first appeared as the object of triple T1613128 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

NED1 Entity disambiguation (via context triple) gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07

Target entity: gRPC
Context triple: [NestJS, supportsTransport, gRPC]

A. QUIC
QUIC is a modern, multiplexed transport protocol developed by Google and standardized by the IETF that runs over UDP to provide faster, more secure, and reliable web connections than traditional TCP-based HTTPS.
B. SPDY
SPDY is an experimental, now-deprecated web protocol developed by Google to speed up and secure HTTP traffic, which heavily influenced the design of HTTP/2.
C. HTTP/2
HTTP/2 is a major revision of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol that introduced features like multiplexing, header compression, and server push to significantly improve web performance over HTTP/1.1.
D. Google Cloud Pub/Sub
Google Cloud Pub/Sub is a fully managed real-time messaging service that enables asynchronous, scalable communication between independent applications and services.
E. HTTP/3
HTTP/3 is the third major version of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol, built on the QUIC transport protocol to provide faster, more reliable, and secure web communication.
F. None of above. chosen
G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
