Bridging congestion state in TCP and QUIC

Abstract

Serverless computing has emerged as a transformative field in the cloud computing world. The high energy and cost savings associated with serverless are leading to its increased prevalence.However, network communications within serverless platforms continue to use the traditional TCP, exposing the protocol’s inherent problems in the transport layer, such as latency and performance overheads. In contrast, QUIC provides features such as built-in security and high-speed data transfer, making it a promising solution in serverless. Through our study, we focus on identifying real-world use cases where QUIC performs better than TCP, offering empirical analysis that guides the adoption of QUIC in the face of evolving technological paradigms.
