Hi all

Many proposals (*) are being promoted in several IETF WGs to port protocols=
 widely used in operator networks to be transported over QUIC. There are se=
veral technical arguments that motivate such extensions, however, porting p=
rotocols used within operator networks to support QUIC would have some impa=
cts on fault isolation, troubleshooting, etc. Because of the lack of the vi=
sibility on the transport headers, providing feature parity may be challeng=
ing without tools upgrade and also logistic (e.g., synchronize keys to deco=
de messages, etc.).

There is a need to (1) have a common understanding of the operational benef=
its, (2) understand the underlying challenges that can be inherited especia=
lly when the connection endpoints are not adjacent to each others, and (3) =
identify deployment incentives especially when there are alternate mechanis=
ms to achieve similar objectives (TLS, etc.), (4) identify whether there ar=
e specific missing QUIC features that would ease use in operators network ,=
 and (5) explore whether there is common operational guidance that can info=
rm most of these extensions (and similar).

Per (cced) kindly accepted to coordinate and lead the discussion on this to=
pic. Per will be presenting the outcome during IETF#126. Many thanks Per!

This is thus a call for inputs and feedback on this topic. Feel free to use=
 this thread, get in touch with Per, or fill PRs/Issues using https://githu=
b.com/IETF-OPS-AD/foo-over-QUIC-Operational-Considerations.

Thank you

Cheers,
