+The performance of HTTP/3 connections in the early phase of their lifetime is
+sensitive to the creation and exchange of data on unidirectional streams.
+Endpoints that set low values for the QUIC transport parameters
+`initial_max_uni_streams` and `initial_max_stream_data_uni` will increase the
+chance that the remote peer reaches the limit early. In particular, the value
+chosen for `initial_max_uni_streams` should consider that remote peers may wish

+increased post handshake at the cost of additional RTT, for example by

STREAMS_BLOCKED has no actual effect, it's just informative, so I don't think it's wise to mention it here.
