The IESG has approved the following document:
- 'QUIC Loss Detection and Congestion Control'
  (draft-ietf-quic-recovery-34.txt) as Proposed Standard

This document is the product of the QUIC Working Group.

The IESG contact persons are Martin Duke and Magnus Westerlund.

Technical Summary:

QUIC is a standards-track, UDP-based, stream-multiplexing, encrypted
transport protocol. Its main features are minimizing connection
establishment and overall transport latency for applications such as
HTTP/3, providing multiplexing without head-of-line blocking, requiring
only changes to path endpoints to enable deployment, providing
always-secure transport using TLS 1.3.

This document set specifies the QUIC transport protocol and it
version-independent invariants, its loss detection and recovery
approach, its use of TLS1.3 for providing security, and a new version of
HTTP that uses QUIC (HTTP/3), along with QPACK for header compression in
that protocol.

Working Group Summary:

As can be expected, discussion on many aspects of QUIC was quite
intense. The resulting consensus, however, was judged by the chairs to
be both strong and broad.

Document Quality:

There are over twenty implementations of QUIC that are participating in
interop testing, including all major web browsers and many server, CDN
and standalone library implementations.
