As promised, please find below a proposal fwiw:

======================
X.  Transport-based TE (was QUIC)

   In addition to IP-based TE mechanisms, transport-based TE approaches
   can be considered in specific deployment contexts (e.g., data
   centers, multi-homing).  For example, the 3GPP defines the
   Access Traffic Steering, Switching, and Splitting (ATSSS) service
   that is applicable between multiple access networks.  The ATSSS
   functions are described below:

   Access Traffic Steering:  is the selection of an access network for a
      new flow and the transfer of the traffic of that flow over the
      selected access network.

   Access Traffic Switching:  is the migration of all packets of an
      ongoing flow from one access network to another access network.
      Only one access network is in use at a time.

   Access Traffic Splitting:  is about forwarding the packets of a flow
      across multiple access networks simultaneously.

   Hosts and specific network devices are provided by means of the
   control plane with a set or policies that specify which flows are
   eligible to the ATSSS service.  The traffic that matches an ATSSS
   policy can be distributed among the available access networks
   following one of these modes:

   Active-Standby:   The traffic is forwarded via a specific access
      (called 'active access') and switched to another access (called
      'standby access') when the active access is unavailable.

   Priority-based:   Network accesses are assigned priority levels that
      indicate which network access to be used first.  The traffic
      associated with the matching flow will be steered on the network
      access with a high priority till congestion is detected, then the
      overflow will be forwarded over a low priority access.

   Load-Balancing:   The traffic is distributed among the available
      access networks following a distribution ratio (e.g., 75% via a
      first network access, 25% via a second network access).

   Smallest Delay:   The traffic is forwarded via the access that
      presents the smallest round-trip-time (RTT).

   For resource management purposes, hosts and involved network devices
   support means such as congestion control, RTT measurement, and packet
   scheduling.  

   For TCP traffic, Multipath TCP [RFC8684] and the 0-RTT
   Convert Protocol [RFC8803] are used to provide the ATSSS service.

   Note that for QUIC [I-D.ietf-quic-transport], it is possible to
   support the switching and steering functions, but splitting is not
   yet supported.  Indeed, QUIC supports a connection migration
   procedure which allows peers to change their transport coordinates
   (IP addresses, port numbers) without breaking the underlying QUIC
   connection.

   The reader may refer to Section 2.5 of [I-D.irtf-panrg-questions] for
   some research investigation areas.
