QUIC builds modern congestion control on top of UDP.
- solotronics 9y agoI think the problem is that currently there is no prioritizing within IP traffic and possibly this would cause TCP to suck while QUIC over UDP ran fine. This is just a guess based on how TCP congestion and sliding window work and I am very curious to see how these two interact at various percentages in the wild. If anyone knows how to simulate QUIC on Spirent or Ixia test gear please drop me a line and I will lab this up.
