The goal of both user-studies is to assess the human-perceivable performance of the new Internet protocol QUIC for the web. Currently, the Internet relies on TCP to transport web.To find out how humans perceive the changes introduced by the protocols, we aim to compare both protocols in various network environments. For this purpose, we designed two studies:
Study 1: Rate
In this study, we show you the loading process of a single website. Your task is to rate the performance of the loading process on a linear scale - from "bad" over "fair" to "excellent".
