My project focuses on how Google uses QUIC as their file transfer protocol and how Google Duo uses this protocol to run their application. I plan to compare the QUIC protocol and Google Duo with different video calling applications that use TCP. I want to compare results related to packet loss, stream quality, and any other major differences.
QUIC was initially implemented in 2012 and announced to the public in 2013. The protocol itself takes different implementations from UDP and TCP as well as newly created implementations. The ultimate goal for QUIC is to improve the performance of different web applications using TCP. It also has goals of reduced connection and transport latency. QUIC also does a very good job at congestion avoidance.
