Evaluating BDP FRAME extension for QUIC

Abstract

The first version of QUIC has recently been standardized by the IETF. The framework of QUIC enables the proposition, negociation and exploitation of extensions to adapt some of its mechanisms. As one example, the DATAGRAM extension enables the unreliable transmission of data. The BDP FRAME extension is a method that can improve traffic delivery by allowing a QUIC connection to remember the knowledge of path characteristics and exploit them when resuming a session. This technical report presents the rationale behind fast convergence in SATCOM systems and evaluate the BDP FRAME extension in emulated and live environments.
