The IESG has received a request from the QUIC WG (quic) to consider the
following document: - 'Managing multiple paths for a QUIC connection'
  <draft-ietf-quic-multipath-17.txt> as Proposed Standard

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final
comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
last-call@ietf.org mailing lists by 2025-12-22. Exceptionally, comments may
be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning
of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract


   This document specifies a multipath extension for the QUIC protocol
   to enable the simultaneous usage of multiple paths for a single
   connection.  It proposes a standard way to create, delete, and manage
   paths using identifiers.  It does not specify address discovery or
   management, nor how applications using QUIC schedule traffic over
   multiple paths.
