QUIC and SATCOM.

We analyze QUIC transport protocol behavior over a satellite communication system. Such systems usually split end-to-end protocols to improve end users' quality of experience while fully encrypted QUIC might jeopardize this solution. Using a real satellite public access, we observe that the page load time of a heavy page is approximately twice longer with QUIC than with TLS over TCP. Although faster, QUIC connection establishment does not compensate an inappropriate congestion control.
