moq-e2eedraft-00Individual (NEW 2026-09-24)MoQ End-to-End Encryption Profile — shared 32-byte broadcast secret + publisher-minted epochs; HKDF-SHA-256 derives opaque track names and per-track AES-128-GCM keys; deliberately diverges from moq-secure-objects (Luke Curley)
moq-solicitdraft-00Individual (NEW 2026-09-24)MoQ Solicit Extension — a SOLICIT setup option letting an endpoint refuse unsolicited PUBLISH_NAMESPACE and ask via SUBSCRIBE_NAMESPACE instead (Luke Curley)

Protocol Concepts

  • publish-subscribe - Core pub/sub model and message flow
  • relays - Relay architecture and CDN integration
  • subgroups-and-objects - Data model: tracks, groups, subgroups, objects (+ wire-format diff 14/16/17)
  • streams-and-framing - Stream classes and code points across drafts 14/16/17
  • joining-fetch - Joining a live stream mid-session: fill fetch and FILL_PARAMETERS (shipped draft-20, replacing Joining FETCH)
  • qmux - QUIC multiplexing over TCP for fallback transport
  • track-properties - Object and track metadata system (Extensions → Properties rename)

Design Debates

  • switch-abr - Client-side ABR switching (resolved June 2026 as the SWITCH_FROM parameter)
  • joining-fetch-dissent - Competing proposals for joining live streams (resolved June 2026: fill fetch + Range Filters)
  • open-issues-analysis - Full evaluation of all open issues (April 2026)
