Benchmarks for quic-go

This repository contains benchmarks for quic-go.

netem setup

netem is only available on Linux. This benchmark suite uses the tc command to configure different network conditions, and then runs file transfers using TCP and QUIC.

tc has to be run with root priviledges. The following solution is far from optimal, but works fine if you don't care about security (e.g. if you're running the benchmarks in a virtual machine).

1. Add the following lines to /etc/sudoers:

Defaults env_keep += "GOPATH"
Defaults env_keep += "GOROOT"

2. Add the file /etc/sudoers.d/%USERNAME% with the following contents:

%USERNAME% ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL

Tested on Ubuntu 17.10 and 19.04.
