How to Video stream using QUIC?

[Siva Kesava]

Hi all,

        I am trying to compare the performance of QUIC over video streaming. So is there a way to set up a server and client and stream a video from the server to client with QUIC as an underlying protocol? I have seen the toy server and client and it was useful to the point of static file transfers alone. Any suggestions would be really helpful.

Thanks

Hi,

I recently succeeded.

I am using regular Chrome/Chromium as the client and either proto-quic or Caddy (with quic-go) as the server. Both work, but there is a bug in quic-go concerning the congestion control so there are a lot off stalls.

I use the DASH.js as an adaptive streaming client, but I don't see why another method would not work.

Basically if you can display a regular web page, you are almost there.  You just have to add the correct headers to any video/mpd/javascript/xml/html file you need with the correct X-Original-Url header and file-size!

I wrote a python script, but you can also host the page over http (with python http.server) and get thhe headers with wget.

Once you have a correct cache with all headers, the streaming works as expected

Hi Thomas,

Can you share an example? I'm trying to do that with proto-quic and I'm experiencing problems when trying to add additional mp4 file (in the same folder where the index html file located). should I raise additional instance of quic server to serve the mp4 file?

Thanks,

Einav
