Abstract
The QUIC protocol is currently recognized as a network pro- tocol that is expected to replace TCP. It is characterized by encryption, multiplexing, and low latency. It was proposed by Google in 2013 and aims to improve the transmission performance of HTTPS traffic and achieve rapid deployment and continuous development of transmission mechanisms. QUIC has gone through many versions since its release, and previous researchers have compared the transmission performance of QUIC and TCP. In this paper, the pressure test tool vegeta is modified, and the modified vegeta is used to test the TCP and QUIC protocols in a high load environment and collect the results to evaluate the performance of different protocols. Experiments show that under high load network conditions, the TCP protocol has better performance than the QUIC protocol; IQUIC (IETF QUIC) performs better than GQUIC (Google QUIC) at lower attack frequencies; as the attack frequency increases, IQUIC Performance decreases faster than GQUIC performance.
