Fixing TCP head of blocking

A non-blocking TCP + TLS + HTTP/2

Needs independent packets

… that still are stream aware

Needs new retransmissions/ACKs

New protocol?

Fixing TCP takes decades –if even doable

QUIC

“TCP”, TLS and HTTP/2 over UDP

no TCP head of line blocking

other congestion control

move across interfaces

“TCP improvements” - much faster

Google has this widely deployed already

UDP not as problematic as we thought

The IETF QUIC wg

Just started

Massive interest

s/custom crypto/TLS 1.3

Will transfer more than HTTP/2 frames

First interim meeting in Tokyo in Jan ‘17

IETF-QUIC vs Google-QUIC

Maybe early live test around mid-2017

That means That means maybemaybe and and earlyearly tests tests

Neither 3 nor 2

Perhaps “HTTP/3”, but not in name

Perhaps “TCP/2”, but not in name

Just QUIC

Round-up

HTTP/1 is not optimal

HTTP/2 is binary and multipled

HTTP/2 is widely used

HTTP/2 makes sites faster

(IETF-)QUIC is coming

QUIC is HTTP/2 frames over UDP

Thank you!
