The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Proxying UDP in HTTP' (draft-ietf-masque-connect-udp-15.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Multiplexed Application Substrate over QUIC Encryption Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Zaheduzzaman Sarker and Martin Duke. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-masque-connect-udp/ Technical Summary This document describes how to proxy UDP in HTTP, similar to how the HTTP CONNECT method allows proxying TCP in HTTP. More specifically, this document defines a protocol that allows an HTTP client to create a tunnel for UDP communications through an HTTP server that acts as a proxy. Working Group Summary Like the HTTP/3 datagram document, there was some initial controversy around the role of HTTP intermediaries in the protocol (are they explicit? what role do they play? what are they allowed to do or not do with messages sent up or downstream?), though these concerns were resolved as a byproduct of a Design Team that worked on the document. Document Quality Yes, there are several interoperable implementations of the document. Some of them are open source [1,2] whereas others are closed source. An incomplete and outdated collection of implementations is available at [3]. [1] https://github.com/google/quiche [2] https://github.com/facebookincubator/mvfst [3] https://github.com/ietf-wg-masque/draft-ietf-masque-connect-udp/wiki/Implementations This document is relevant to the HTTPBIS and WebTransport WGs, and both WGs were included on the WGLC thread, so we believe this review has occurred. Personnel The Document Shepherd is Eric Kinnear. The Responsible AD is Martin Duke.
