Security and Performance Evaluations of QUIC Protocol

QUIC protocol was proposed to carry out fast navigation of Internet, and it is a latest transport layer protocol build on UDP for Internet by Google developers. QUIC provides equivalent functionality to TCP, HTTP/2, and TLS as whole. In this paper, we do in-depth study of QUIC protocol from its implementation and application point of view. Further, we do testbed implementation using Amazon AWS services to evaluate the performance of QUIC protocol against TCP and UDP protocol. In this connection, we find different issues in QUIC protocol such as data loss recovery and forward error correction. Besides, we do security analysis on QUIC protocol to understand its security strengths.
