The IESG has approved the following document:
- 'QUIC Stream Resets with Partial Delivery'
  (draft-ietf-quic-reliable-stream-reset-11.txt) as Proposed Standard

This document is the product of the QUIC Working Group.

The IESG contact persons are Gorry Fairhurst and Mike Bishop.

Technical Summary

   QUIC defines a RESET_STREAM frame to abort sending on a stream.  When
   a sender resets a stream, it also stops retransmitting STREAM frames
   for this stream in the event of packet loss.  On the receiving side,
   there is no guarantee that any data sent on that stream is delivered.

   This document defines a new QUIC frame, the RESET_STREAM_AT frame,
   that allows resetting a stream, while guaranteeing delivery of stream
   data up to a certain byte offset.

Working Group Summary

This document specifies a normative wire-level extension to the core QUIC transport protocol (RFC 9000). The WebTransport WG requested this extension and have actively participated in the design, reviews, and implementation. It defines a new QUIC Transport Parameter (reset_stream_at) and a new QUIC Frame Type (RESET_STREAM_AT). The document has consensus of the WG.

Document Quality

There have been several independent implementations of the protocol extension, driven primarily by WebTransport use cases (including, but not limited to, Media over QUIC). No specific additional review is requested.

Personnel

   The Document Shepherd for this document is Lucas Pardue. The Responsible
   Area Director is Gorry Fairhurst.
