Performance Analysis of QUIC Protocol Used for Real-World Automated Meter Reading Application

The QUIC is a new encrypted transport protocol, designed on the basis of decades of transport and security experience, with the aim to find a valid, more performing substitute to TCP protocol in all its internet implications. Originally designed by Google, QUIC has taken all the best qualities of TCP connections and TLS encryption and implemented them over UDP. The goal of this thesis is to provide an in-depth study of implementing QUIC protocol for automated meter reading applications which enables automatic collection of consumption data, eliminates manual meter reading, improves efficiency, and saves costs. Finally, consideration of the algorithm’s limitations has been discussed together with ideas for future work and improvements.
