Abstract

Although TCP provides many guarantees in relation to UDP, adapting it to new applications can take many years. In this context, Google has developed the QUIC protocol in order to implement evolutions more quickly. Google is already using QUIC under HTTP and conducting measurement experiments, but these experiments are difficult to replicate for several reasons. In this paper, we were able to work around these difficulties through a new, non-trivial extension developed to add QUIC to NS-3. More specifically, this extension integrates the QUIC code as a new NS-3 application, switching its communication with system sockets to simulator sockets and changing its behavior to work with discrete, rather than continuous, time line.
