Currently, the SOCKS and QUIC don't work straight forward. 
When SOCKS is used, a REQUEST (method, dest port, dest IP) has to be sent during each time of connection establishment. This is straight forward in TCP but in QUIC we establish the connection once with the SOCKS server and multiplex the streams amongst it. 
**Hence, a new method for SOCKS over QUIC is proposed where the REQUEST and RESPONSE are modified according to the QUIC design**

Another important issue with SOCKS is the initial overhead. In our real-time results with Samsung Smartphones, we observed that most the application are short-lived and socks delay impacts the user experience.  Hence we have to decide the packets to be packed one the 0-RTT and also if the tunnel can be pre-established with one-time authentication messages being transferred. 

**We would like to know, if there is similar work going on or shall we submit a fresh RFC including the problem and our approaches**
