WebTransport Side Meeting (Tuesday, 15:20)

Hello everyone,

Today, at the dispatch working group meeting (18:10), I am going to present
WebTransport. WebTransport is a protocol framework that allows multiplexed
and datagram-oriented transport protocols to be used by the web
applications (think “WebSocket for UDP”).

Since it’s quite likely we will run out of time during dispatch, I
scheduled a side-meeting to discuss this in more depth. Below are the side
meeting details.

*Time:* Tuesday, 15:20 ~ 16:50
*Place:* Room C2 (21st floor)
*Organizers:* Victor Vasiliev, David Schinazi
*Agenda:*

   1. A more in-depth overview of WebTransport.
   2. Discussion of the overall design and the use cases.
   3. As time permits, some of the major outstanding design issues in Web
   transport, e.g.:
      - What fallback protocol to use?
      - How to multiplex streams and datagrams within a single connection?
      - Can we let web applications do their own congestion control?
      - Should WebTransport sessions have URLs associated with them?
