Re:MoQ: Refactoring the Internet's real-time media stack on Friday August 22, 2025 @06:50PM (#44990875)
Hi, I've got one.

Does your team have any concrete plans to reduce the TCP vs. QUIC diff with respect to goodput [1]? The linked paper claims seeing up to a 9.8% video bitrate reduction from HTTP/2 (TCP) to HTTP/3 (QUIC). Obviously, MoQ is based on a slightly different stack, so the results don't exactly generalize. I can imagine the problems are similar, though.

(I find this stuff fascinating, as I spent the last few months investigating the AF_XDP datapath for MsQuic as part of my master's thesis. I basically came to the conclusion that GSO/GRO is a better alternative and that QUIC desperately needs more hardware offloads :p)

- Completely circular material lifespans. I'm out of my depth here, but there _must_ be a way to gasify/liquify any type of object and filter its contents through a membrane, the same way desalination plants separate salt (NaCL) and water (H20).

- Replacing first-past-the-post voting with proportional representation.

Currently a master's student at TUM, and I agree with your friend -- it's a painful journey haha.

let's talk about owls with diabetes by David Sedaris. Never has a book made me laugh out loud more than this one. It's completely ridiculous and crazy, but I loved every minute of it.
