I'm pretty sure YouTube uses QUIC for video streaming today, which is a similar workload to ours.

I'm pretty sure YouTube uses QUIC for video streaming today, which is a similar workload to ours.
- jeffbee 6y agoI think that indicates more about the economics of YouTube than anything. Probably their frontend CPU costs would have to go up by a factor of ten thousand before it even began to approach their costs for compression and storage of user uploads.
- virattara 6y ago> I'm pretty sure YouTube uses QUIC for video streaming today Is there any media transfer protocol based on QUIC?
- drewg123 6y agoI found an article from 4 years ago saying that 20% of youtube's traffic was QUIC: https://www.fiercewireless.com/wireless/youtube-driving-more-quic-based-traffic-mobile-vasona https://www.fiercewireless.com/wireless/youtube-driving-more...
- detaro 6y agoYoutube is delivering video over HTTP. HTTP3, i.e. it is transported over QUIC.
- elithrar 6y agoLucas Pardue, who is the IETF QUIC WG chair, has a great talk from Mux's Demuxed conf last year on using QUIC as a transport for UDP streaming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zdkjd7-EWmQ&feature=emb_title https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zdkjd7-EWmQ&feature=emb_titl... This is not dissimilar from SRT.
- elithrar 6y agoYep: YouTube currently delivers over gQUIC and h3 (IETF QUIC). We advertise the following alt-svc for most devices: > h3-29=":443"; ma=2592000,h3-T051=":443"; ma=2592000,h3-Q050=":443"; ma=2592000,h3-Q046=":443"; ma=2592000,h3-Q043=":443"; ma=2592000,quic=":443"; ma=2592000; v="46,43" HTTP/3 (over IETF QUIC) is still not as widely deployed due to lesser client support, but that's growing as both Chrome[1], Firefox and Apple (in iOS Safari, when enabled) adopt it and the latest drafts.
