Observing the Evolution of QUIC Implementations

Proceedings of the Workshop on the Evolution, Performance, and Interoperability of QUIC · 2018

Abstract

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 developed in parallel with these standardisation activities. We propose and implement a QUIC test suite that interacts with public QUIC servers to verify their conformance with key features of the IETF specification. Our measurements, gathered over a semester, provide a unique viewpoint on the evolution of the QUIC protocol and of its implementations. They highlight the introduction of new features and some regressions among the different implementations.
