We never deployed Google QUIC. It was always IETF QUIC. Referring to them together as QUIC was just for expedience, since the main benefits came from the QUIC layer, not the HTTP layer.

HTTP/3 implies IETF QUIC. IETF QUIC itself can be used for non-HTTP protocols, though, just like TCP can be used for protocols that aren't HTTP/2.

Thank you for the clarification. I'm sure you're looking forward to WebTransport+QUIC as well, I know I am. I'm already doing some little tweaks to our WebSocket RPC and bulk transfer layers to resemble WebTransport so it's an easy drop-in when the QUIC transport becomes available, or when there's a reasonable implementation of WebTransport+HTTP/3 (the other middle ground).

Maybe I can publish the virtual “WebSocketTransport” thing once I'm satisfied with it.
