From req/res to pub/sub: Exploring Media over QUIC Transport for DNS

Mathis Engelbart, Mike Kosek, Lars Eggert +1

The DNS is a key component of the Internet. Originally designed to facilitate the resolution of host names to IP addresses, its scope has continuously expanded over the years, toda…

ECN with QUIC: Challenges in the Wild

Constantin Sander, Ike Kunze, Leo Blöcher +2

TCP and QUIC can both leverage ECN to avoid congestion loss and its retransmission overhead. However, both protocols require support of their remote endpoints and it took two decad…

Secure Middlebox-Assisted QUIC

Mike Kosek, Benedikt Spies, Jörg Ott

While the evolution of the Internet was driven by the end-to-end model, it has been challenged by many flavors of middleboxes over the decades. Yet, the basic idea is still fundame…

Evaluating DNS Resiliency and Responsiveness with Truncation, Fragmentation & DoTCP Fallback

Pratyush Dikshit, Mike Kosek, Nils Faulhaber +2

Since its introduction in 1987, the DNS has become one of the core components of the Internet. While it was designed to work with both TCP and UDP, DNS-over-UDP (DoUDP) has become…

On Cross-Layer Interactions of QUIC, Encrypted DNS and HTTP/3: Design, Evaluation and Dataset

Jayasree Sengupta, Mike Kosek, Justus Fries +3

Every Web session involves a DNS resolution. While, in the last decade, we witnessed a promising trend towards an encrypted Web in general, DNS encryption has only recently gained…

DNS Privacy with Speed? Evaluating DNS over QUIC and its Impact on Web Performance

Mike Kosek, Luca Schumann, Robin Marx +2

Over the last decade, Web traffic has significantly shifted towards HTTPS due to an increased awareness for privacy. However, DNS traffic is still largely unencrypted, which allows…

Exploring Proxying QUIC and HTTP/3 for Satellite Communication

Mike Kosek, Hendrik Cech, Vaibhav Bajpai +1

Low-Earth Orbit satellites have gained momentum to provide Internet connectivity, augmenting those in the long-established geostationary orbits. At the same time, QUIC has been dev…

Measuring DNS over TCP in the Era of Increasing DNS Response Sizes: A View from the Edge

Mike Kosek, Trinh Viet Doan, Simon Huber +1

The Domain Name System (DNS) is one of the most crucial parts of the Internet. Although the original standard defined the usage of DNS over UDP (DoUDP) as well as DNS over TCP (DoT…

One to Rule them All? A First Look at DNS over QUIC

Mike Kosek, Trinh Viet Doan, Malte Granderath +1

The DNS is one of the most crucial parts of the Internet. Since the original DNS specifications defined UDP and TCP as the underlying transport protocols, DNS queries are inherentl…

Beyond QUIC v1: A First Look at Recent Transport Layer IETF Standardization Efforts

Mike Kosek, Tanya Shreedhar, Vaibhav Bajpai

The transport layer is ossified. With most of the research and deployment efforts in the past decade focussing on the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and its extensions, the QU…

MUST, SHOULD, DON'T CARE: TCP Conformance in the Wild

Mike Kosek, Leo Blöcher, Jan Rüth +2

Standards govern the SHOULD and MUST requirements for protocol implementers for interoperability. In case of TCP that carries the bulk of the Internets' traffic, these requirements…
