The QUIC protocol

Source: [FerreiraBD021]

Description

Quick UDP Internet Connections (QUIC) is an experimental transport layer network protocol developed by Jim Roskind at Google. It is designed to be encrypted by default and have low latency. It is built on top of the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) which makes it possible to deploy changes rapidly so that it can keep up with the developments in modern internet.

In the article [FerreiraBD021] the tool Prognosis is used to learn models of (parts of) three QUIC implementations -- Quiche (Cloudflare), Google QUIC, and Facebook mvfst -- and use these models to analyse the differences between the various implementations.
