Media over QUIC - Lite rev 03 lands on the IETF Datatracker
moq-lite is designed to fanout live content 1->N across the internet. It leverages QUIC to prioritize important content, avoiding head-of- line blocking while respecting encoding dependencies. While primarily designed for media, the transport is payload agnostic and can be proxied by relays/CDNs without knowledge of codecs, containers, or encryption keys.
