SUMMARY REMARKS & TESTBEDS
Go-Quick proposal aims to evaluate the performance of QUIC, as compared to HTTP and SPDY, through deploying virtual overlay networks on Fed4FIRE+ OpenFlow SDN-enabled infrastructure. Since sophisticated congestion avoidance and packet error correction mechanisms are used in all protocols, the actual network scenarios of the Go-Quick experiments will determine which protocol performs best in each case. By deploying various network conditions, performance metrics like web page load time, good put, and link utilization will be assessed for the three protocolsHTTP, SPDY, and QUIC. Then, they will be used to decide if certain cross-layer approaches are more valuable under specific network conditions.
