By Alok Tiagi , Hariharan Ananthakrishnan , Ivan Porto Carrero and Keerti Lakshminarayan Netflix has developed a network observability sidecar called Flow Exporter that uses eBPF tracepoints to capture TCP flows at near real time. Without having network visibility, it’s difficult to improve our reliability, security and capacity posture.

Snap: a microkernel approach to host networking Marty et al., This paper describes the networking stack, Snap , that has been running in production at Google for the last three years+. I’m jumping ahead a bit here, but the component of Snap which provides the transport and communications stack is called Pony Express.

Reconstructing a streaming session was a tedious and time consuming process that involved tracing all interactions (requests) between the Netflix app, our Content Delivery Network (CDN), and backend microservices. Our engineering teams tuned their services for performance after factoring in increased resource utilization due to tracing.

For example, while HTTP deals with URLs and data interpretation, Transport Layer Security (TLS) ensures security by encryption, TCP enables reliable data transport by retransmitting lost packets, and Internet Protocol (IP) routes packets from one endpoint to another across different devices in between (middleboxes). What Is QUIC?

As we will see, QUIC and HTTP/3 indeed have great web performance potential, but mainly for users on slow networks. If your average visitor is on a fast cabled or cellular network, they probably won’t benefit from the new protocols all that much. An often used metaphor is that of a pipe used to transport water.
