2024: Towards SSH3: How HTTP/3 Improves Secure Shells

In this article, we revisit the design of the SSH protocol and analyze how HTTP, QUIC and TLS can be used as modern alternatives for the SSH Transport and Authentication protocols. This project led to a popular Github repository (>3k stars) an APNIC blogpost and an Internet Draft.

2023: My Thesis: Revisiting The Loss Recovery of QUIC

The QUIC proposes a reliable stream abstraction by retransmitting the content of lost packets. This may not be sufficient for latency-sensitive applications over high-delay networks. This thesis extends the loss recovery mechanism of the QUIC protocol, relying on Forward Erasure Correction (FEC) under tight latency constraints and using regular retransmissions otherwise. The thesis proposes significant latency improvements of QUIC transfers in emulated environments and over real networks such as the Starlink network.

We published the first article evaluating the performance of the Starlink network under different use-cases and requirements. Besides throughput, we analyzed the latency over an idle link, bufferbloat over a utilized link and packet losses and loss patterns caused by the wireless medium.
