🚀 QUIC vs TCP Measurement Framework

An automated orchestration and analysis pipeline to evaluate HTTP/3 (QUIC) versus HTTP/2 (TCP) performance across heterogeneous network conditions.

This framework features a dual-engine architecture: a live network traffic shaper (via Linux tc/netem) and a deterministic mathematical simulation engine for rapid baseline generation across cross-platform environments.

✨ Key Features

• Automated Orchestration: Executes multi-scenario test suites without manual intervention.
• Dual Execution Modes: * Live Mode: Uses netem to physically manipulate local loopback interfaces (Linux/WSL). * Simulation Mode: Employs RFC-based mathematical models (0-RTT handshakes, TCP HoL blocking, AIMD dynamics) for rapid, OS-agnostic baseline data generation.
• 5 Distinct Network Profiles: Evaluates protocols over LAN, Home Broadband, 4G Mobile, Congested/Lossy, and Satellite links.
• Interactive Analytics: Generates static publication-ready plots (Matplotlib) and an interactive web dashboard (Streamlit) for deep-dive analysis of Congestion Window (cwnd) evolution and Time-to-First-Byte (TTFB).
