Media over QUIC - Use Cases rev 01 lands on the IETF Datatracker
MoQ is designed to serve live tracks over a CDN to viewers with varying latency and quality targets: the entire spectrum between real-time and VOD. However, it's difficult to understand how to use the transport given the layering and complexity of live media delivery. This document outlines how an application could use MoQ to deliver video, audio, and metadata in a variety of scenarios.
