Project for LINFO2142, by Samy Bettaieb and Jonathan de Salle
The report of the project can be found in report.rst.
A specific README is available in each folder when necessary.
To reproduce our experience you need install the following tools with the corresponding versions (see the commit id) :
- https://github.com/cloudflare/quiche
- id of the used commit : c885a71fd58c0c610e9e209f210b1951db81d6c5
- https://github.com/curl/curl/blob/master/docs/HTTP3.md#quiche-version
- id of the used commit : c8a3046555378f81b22d51e3887df8a5cf1ab5bf
- https://github.com/quiclog/pcap2qlog
- id of the used commit : 62dbd8be1d3a3a040d1f3afc400bebfaa79658d7
- You have to apply a patch to make it work (thanks to François Michel). You can find the patch in the folder
patch. You have to move it in your pcap2qlog directory and apply it usinggit apply <patch file>, then you rebuild pcap2qlog usingnpx tsc.
- Wireshark-Tshark, v3.4.8
Client characteristics :
- Operating System: Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
- Kernel: Linux 5.11.0-41-generic
- Architecture: x86-64
To compare the performance of TCP and QUIC, we decided to download files from our NGINX server using curl with the HTTP3 integration (quiche version).
Download examples :
Download using QUIC :
curl --http3 -w "@curl-format.txt" -X GET -k https://linfo2142-grp2.info.ucl.ac.be/files/empty_file -o test
Download using TCP :
curl -w "@curl-format.txt" -X GET -k https://linfo2142-grp2.info.ucl.ac.be/files/empty_file -o test
Capture using tshark :
After closing all the applications that are using the network connection, you can run the following command :
tshark -w path/capture.pcap -i <network interface> port 443
In another terminal you can launch the download (using curl).
When the download is complete you can stop tshark using kill or by typing ctrl+c in the first terminal.
