After spending the past 10 years (and more!) working with WebRTC, and even more than that with SIP/RTP, I decided to have a look at the efforts happening within the standardization community on how to leverage QUIC for real-time media. This led me to studying not only QUIC itself, but also RTP Over QUIC (RoQ) and Media Over QUIC (MoQT).

As part of my learning process, I started writing a QUIC library, called imquic. While it can (mostly) be used as a generic QUIC/WebTransport library, I also implemented native support within the library for both RoQ and MoQT, as a testbed to use for prototyping the new protocols in an experimental way. This presentation will introduce these new protocols and the imquic library implementing them, talking a bit about the existing demos and the proof-of-concept integration in the Janus WebRTC Server for QUIC-to-WebRTC translation.
