A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-httpbis-zstd-window-size/ Technical Summary Deployments of Zstandard, or "zstd", can use different window sizes to limit memory usage during compression and decompression. Some browsers and user agents limit window sizes to mitigate memory usage concerns, causing interoperability issues.

There was no controversy about particular points, nor decisions where the consensus was particularly rough. Document Quality Implementers have expressed an intent to align on the document's recommendations. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Mark Nottingham.
