A NOVEL FRAMEWORK FOR HTTP/2 OVER MPQUIC: DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION
Abstract
The growing demand for high-performance and reliable web communication has driven significant advancements in transport protocols. This paper introduces an innovative framework for deploying Hypertext Transfer Protocol Version 2 (HTTP/2) over Multipath QUIC (MPQUIC), designed to enhance data transmission efficiency in heterogeneous networks. By integrating HTTP/2’s multiplexing and prioritization capabilities with MPQUIC’s ability to utilize multiple network paths concurrently, the framework addresses critical challenges in stream scheduling and protocol compatibility. To validate its practicality, we design and implement several stream schedulers within the framework.
Comprehensive experimental evaluations in Mininet-WiFi confirm the framework’s effectiveness and provide comparative insights into scheduler performance. This work lays a strong foundation for the future development of high-performance web browsing over MPQUIC.
