Summary:Quick UDP Internet connection(QUIC) protocol and bottleneck bandwidth and round-trip propagation time (BBR) based congestion control algorithm are two major contributions out of Google's persistent attempts to make the Internet faster. QUIC is an user level reliable protocol running on top of UDP to enable evolution of transport mechanisms, while BBR is designed for better TCP congestion control. Although in two different directions, they also converge with BBR support in QUIC. Many researches have proved the performance of QUIC and BBR in different network scenarios, but the evaluation in satellite Internet with long propagation delays and relatively high error rates is still missing.In this paper, we have a preliminary evaluation of the performance of QUIC with BBR via GEO satellite Internet access on dedicated network emulation testbeds. The results and our analysis confirms that for satellite Internet QUIC with the new BBR congestion control has improvements compared with the classic CUBIC.
