Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   The mechanism to proxy UDP in HTTP only allows each UDP proxying
   request to transmit to a specific host and port.  This is well suited
   for UDP client-server protocols such as HTTP/3, but is not sufficient
   for some UDP peer-to-peer protocols like WebRTC.  This document
   defines an extension to UDP proxying in HTTP that enables such use-
   cases.

Working Group Summary

   This is a logical extension of allowing outbound UDP which
   became a side-project during the development of RFC 9298
   and was later adopted.

Document Quality

   There are two existing implementations (Google Quiche and quic-go),
   which are interoperable. The document has had several directorate
   reviews and incorporated their feedback.

Personnel

   The Document Shepherd for this document is Alejandro Sedeño. The
   Responsible Area Director is Mike Bishop.

IANA Note

  This document defines new entries in the "HTTP Field Name"
  <https://www.iana.org/assignments/http-fields> and "HTTP Capsule
  Types" <https://www.iana.org/assignments/masque> registries.
