Yup, my mistake, I meant to say HTTP3 over QUIC.
At a previous company(many years ago), I designed a protocol that was a replacement for aspera. The idea being that it could allow high speed transfer over long distance, with high packet loss (think 130-150ms ping). We could max out a 1gig link without much effort, even with >0.5% packet loss.
In its present form its optimised for throughput rather than latency. However its perfectly possible to tune it on fly to optimise for latency.
