I have long felt the killer feature of QUIC is its ability to encapsulate _both_ reliable in-order delivery and unreliable datagram delivery in the same opaque-to-middleboxes container. Whereas HTTP becoming the everything-protocol is debatable, if QUIC becomes the everything-protocol we will be a lot better off. QUIC is the middlebox and censorship killer. Unfortunately that last point is its greatest weakness: censors can currently get away with blocking it.

- mondainx 11mo agoWhile it does seem that HTTP is the everything-protocol, in the case of MOQ it doesn't HAVE to be involved at all tbh. One can do straight raw moqt:// no http/s needed. Right now and probably for the near future HTTP is the on-ramp and easy to use means to get connected.
