Project Info
Space comm has loooong delays (minutes to hours) and disruptions. Purpose of the project
is to modify open-source QUIC stacks to be usable for this use case. QUIC stacks typically
have low initial values to prime the initial communications, which does not fit with long delays
and make various assumptions not optinal for space comm. Goal of this project is to:
a) externalize these static values so they could be changed at start or while running,
b) set a testbed to test with long delays and verify use
c) modify stacks to support the space use case (specially for disruptions), d) if relevant,
write internet-draft for findings and possible modifications/extensions to QUIC.
An initial POC was done with Christian Huitema (see below) with his picoquic stack.
We would like to go further with more QUIC stacks such as Mozilla Neqo or Google Quiche
or Cloudflare Quiche or else.
