Live Agent Interaction over MoQ rev 02 lands on the IETF Datatracker

This document defines a protocol for real-time interactive communication between users and AI agents over Media over QUIC Transport (MOQT). It specifies how streaming inference outputs (ASR transcripts, LLM tokens, TTS audio) map to the MOQT object model, defines a turn-taking control protocol with barge-in support for voice interactions, and establishes track structure conventions for live agent sessions. The protocol operates as an application-layer profile on top of MOQT without modifying transport semantics.
