Abstract
QUIC is a UDP-based multiplexed and secure transport protocol that was
standardized in 2021 by the IETF. It seeks to replace the traditional
TCP/TLS stack by combining functionality from different layers of the
ISO/OSI model. Therefore, it reduces overhead and introduces new
functionality to better support application protocols, e.g., streams and
datagrams. QUIC is the foundation for HTTP/3 and new proxy technologies
(MASQUE). It is used for video streaming and considered for other media
services.
This talk will introduce the protocol and motivate its relevance. In the
second part, I will provide insights into existing implementations and
their performance. Our research shows that QUIC performance varies
widely between client and server implementations from 90 Mbit/s to over
6000 Mbit/s. In the second part, I provide an overview about QUIC
deployments on the Internet. At least one deployment for 18 different
libraries can actually be found on the Internet.
The complexity of the protocol, the diversity of libraries and their
usage on the Internet makes QUIC an important research subject.
