Quick UDP Internet Connection (QUIC) is an emerging end-to-end encrypted, transport-layer protocol, which has been increasingly adopted by popular web services to improve communication security and quality of experience (QoE) towards…
Existing performance comparisons of QUIC and TCP compared an optimized QUIC to an unoptimized TCP stack. By neglecting available TCP improvements inherently included in QUIC, comparisons do not shed light on the performance of current web…
Quick UDP Internet Connections (QUIC) is a recently proposed transport protocol, currently being standardized by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). It aims at overcoming some of the shortcomings of TCP, while maintaining the logic…
The Internet is going through a massive infrastructural revolution with the advent of low-flying satellite networks, 5/6G, WiFi7, and hollow-core fiber deployments. While these networks could unleash enhanced connectivity and new…
In this paper, we revisit the performance of the QUIC connection setup and relate the design choices for fast and secure connections to common Web deployments. We analyze over 1M Web domains with 272k QUIC-enabled services and find two…
The QUIC transport protocol represents a significant evolution in web transport technologies, offering improved performance and reduced latency compared to traditional protocols like TCP. Given the growing number of QUIC implementations,…
Backhauling services through satellite systems have doubled between 2012 and 2018. There is an increasing demand for this service for which satellite systems typically allocate a fixed resource. This solution may not help in optimizing the…
Pacing is a key mechanism in modern transport protocols, used to regulate packet transmission timing to minimize traffic burstiness, lower latency, and reduce packet loss. Standardized in 2021, QUIC is a UDP-based protocol designed to…
Originally implemented by Google, QUIC gathers a growing interest by providing, on top of UDP, the same service as the classical TCP/TLS/HTTP/2 stack. The IETF will finalise the QUIC specification in 2019. A key feature of QUIC is that…
The proliferation of Extended Reality (XR) applications, requiring high-quality, low-latency media streaming, has driven the demand for efficient remote rendering solutions. This paper focuses on holographic conferencing in virtual…
The QUIC protocol is a new approach to combine encryption and transport layer stream abstraction into one protocol to lower latency and improve security. However, the decision to encrypt transport layer functionality may limit the…
TCP and QUIC can both leverage ECN to avoid congestion loss and its retransmission overhead. However, both protocols require support of their remote endpoints and it took two decades since the initial standardization of ECN for TCP to reach…
Every Web session involves a DNS resolution. While, in the last decade, we witnessed a promising trend towards an encrypted Web in general, DNS encryption has only recently gained traction with the standardisation of DNS over TLS (DoT) and…
In this paper, we address the issue of scalable, interoperable, and timely dissemination of information in resource-constrained IoT. Scalability is addressed by adopting a publish-subscribe architecture. To address interoperable and timely…
Transport and security protocols are essential to ensure reliable and secure communication between two parties. For IoT applications, these protocols must be lightweight, since IoT devices are usually resource constrained. Unfortunately,…
