Evaluating Performance of HTTP/3 for Video Streaming: A Comparative Study with Previous Versions of HTTP

Introduction This project’s aims were to evaluate the performance differences between HTTP/3 and other iterations of the HTTP protocol with regard to video streaming. From results collected, it can be concluded that HTTP/3 is a viable alternative to HTTP/2 and HTTP/1.1 for video streaming. HTTP/3’s performance was similar to that of the other protocols under identical network conditions. Results also dictate that in most scenarios, HTTP/3 provides equal or better video streaming performance than other protocols, except where latency significantly impacts the network conditions of the client-server communication....
