“…All the tests in the tsA have the maximum requests success rate, thus not being pictured. The achieved results demonstrate that HTTP/3 provides better performance in networks with lossy and with delay variations, which is in line with results achieved by other authors [21][22][23] in previous versions of QUIC protocol.…”

“…The performance of the HTTPs is affected by the size and frequency of objects being transferred, and by the network conditions, where HTTP/3 gains a clearer advantage in scenarios with high latency. Such results, considering the PLT metric, are also achieved by other researchers, 21,22 which put in evidence that HTTP/3 can be considered as a choice for networks with considerable latency.…”

Different network conditions are employed to confirm the suitability of HTTP/3 in distinct scenarios, for instance, to confirm the findings in the literature that report a gain in performance when employing HTTP/3 as the base transport protocol in networks with latency, loss of high round trip time (RTT) 21‐24 …”

Next generation of microservices for the 5G Service‐Based Architecture

The architecture for 5G core includes a Service-Based Architecture for the diverse network functions (NFs), which relies on HTTP/2 for the SBI and TCP as the underlying transport protocol. The specifications of the HTTP family is moving towards more efficient and secure protocols, which are based on UDP to assure enhanced transport but using TLS to secure the communication channel. The next generation of microservices needs to be more secure, performant and easily manageable, where HTTP/3 and containers orchestration platforms (like Kubernetes) can provide significative contributions towards such goals. Different deployment approaches can be followed for services implemented in compliance to the 5G SBA. This paper contributes with the assessment of deployment models for services in 5G networks, where NFs are implemented following traditional architectures (all the functions in a VM) or as serverless architectures (with functions distributed in containers). The performance of microservices in Kubernetes is also evaluated. The evaluation conducted also considers the employment of different versions of HTTPs to empower the service-based interfaces of 5G services. Results demonstrate performance benefits of employing HTTP/3, based on QUIC protocol, in scenarios with networks characterised by losses or delay conditions. Despite such gain, deployment in 5G networks needs to carefully consider aspects related with connection tracking mechanisms to support high volumes of requests.

“…Since there is no support for TLS 1.3 early-data in Chromium (as of June 2019) and a limited and challenging deployment of TFO in the Internet, this still gives a 1-RTT advantage of QUIC over TCP+TLS+HTTP/2. In [24], we found that this 1-RTT advantage is the primary factor for QUIC outperforming the traditional Web stack in non-lossy environments when looking at technical metrics. QUIC, similar to early-data and TFO, suffers from replay attacks, which have an especially large surface in distributed clusters [5] when requests are non-idempotent.…”

QUIC, as the foundation for HTTP/3, is becoming an Internet reality. A plethora of studies already show that QUIC excels beyond TCP+ TLS+HTTP/2. Yet, these studies compare a highly optimized QUIC Web stack against an unoptimized TCP-based stack. In this paper, we bring TCP up to speed to perform an eye-level comparison. Instead of relying on technical metrics, we perform two extensive user studies to investigate QUIC's impact on the quality of experience. First, we investigate if users can distinguish two protocol versions in a direct comparison, and we find that QUIC is indeed rated faster than TCP and even a tuned TCP. Yet, our second study shows that this perceived performance increase does mostly not matter to the users, and they rate QUIC and TCP indistinguishable.

I am immensely thankful to my families and relatives for their unconditional love and support through my school life. Last but not least, I would like to thank my better half, Ichalem, for her love and everything else. This thesis is dedicated to my mother Tena Yihunie -who is my role model of perseverance and confidence -and Adisualem -youngest brother, who was born three weeks after this research was started.
