Inferring the quality of streaming video applications is important for Internet service providers, but the fact that most video streams are encrypted makes it difficult to do so. We develop models that infer quality metrics (\ie, startup…
QUIC, as the transport layer of the next-generation Web stack (HTTP/3), natively provides security and performance improvements over TCP-based stacks. However, since QUIC provides end-to-end encryption for both data and packet headers,…
Stateful Middleboxes are integral part of enterprise and campus networks that provide essential in-network, security, and value-added services. These stateful middleboxes rely on precise network flow identification. However, the adoption of…
HTTP/2 video streaming has caught a lot of attentions in the development of multimedia technologies over the last few years. In HTTP/2, the server push mechanism allows the server to deliver more video segments to the client within a single…
The knowledge of future throughput variations in mobile networks becomes more and more possible today thanks to the rich contextual information provided by mobile applications and services and smartphone sensors. It is even likely that such…
The first version of QUIC has recently been standardized by the IETF. The framework of QUIC enables the proposition, negociation and exploitation of extensions to adapt some of its mechanisms. As one example, the DATAGRAM extension enables…
User-perceived quality-of-experience (QoE) is critical in internet video delivery systems. Extensive prior work has studied the design of client-side bitrate adaptation algorithms to maximize single-player QoE. However, multiplayer QoE…
QUIC has rapidly evolved into a cornerstone transport protocol for secure, low-latency communications, yet its deployment continues to expose critical security and privacy vulnerabilities, particularly during connection establishment phases…
5G and Beyond networks promise low-latency support for applications that need to deliver mission-critical data with strict deadlines. However, innovations on the physical and medium access layers are not sufficient. Additional…
Quantum key distribution, initialized in 1984, is a commercialized secure communication method which enables two parties to produce shared random secret key by the nature of quantum mechanics. We propose QQUIC (Quantum assisted Quick UDP…
The QUIC protocol combines features that were initially found inside the TCP, TLS and HTTP/2 protocols. The IETF is currently finalising a complete specification of this protocol. More than a dozen of independent implementations have been…
To keep up with increasing demands on quality of experience, assessing and understanding the performance of network connections is crucial for web service providers. While different measures, like TCP options, alternative transport layer…
QUIC is a secure transport protocol that improves the performance of HTTPS. An initial QUIC handshake that enforces a strict validation of the client's source address requires two round-trips. In this work, we extend QUIC's address…
Cryptographic protocols have been widely used to protect the user's privacy and avoid exposing private information. QUIC (Quick UDP Internet Connections), including the version originally designed by Google (GQUIC) and the version…
The main objective of this article is to provide an overview of P2P based Video-on-Demand and live streaming services. The article starts with an introduction to media streaming and its simplified architecture. Various solutions offering…
Immersive media streaming, especially virtual reality (VR)/360-degree video streaming which is very bandwidth demanding, has become more and more popular due to the rapid growth of the multimedia and networking deployments. To better…
Transmission of video traffic over the Internet has grown exponentially in the past few years with no sign of waning. This increasing demand for video services has changed user expectation of quality. Various mechanisms have been proposed…
The increasing adoption of the QUIC transport protocol has transformed encrypted web traffic, necessitating new methodologies for network analysis. However, existing datasets lack the scope, metadata, and decryption capabilities required…
Low-Earth Orbit satellites have gained momentum to provide Internet connectivity, augmenting those in the long-established geostationary orbits. At the same time, QUIC has been developed as the new transport protocol for the web. While QUIC…
Wireless networks are envisaged to be one of the most important technologies to provide cost-efficient content delivery, including for video applications. They will allow thousands of thousands of fixed and mobile users to access, produce,…
