First QUIC CDN

Cloudflare released a blog post, in which they announced release of the first QUIC CDN. They also explain the motivation for MoQ (Media over QUIC), and how it is meant to transform the way we send media over the internet, essentially obsoleting all WebRTC, HLS/ DASH and RTMP.

Is everyone switching to MoQ?

As a comment to Cloudflare’s post, Philipp from webrtchacks comes to curb our enthusiasm a little bit. While the MoQ is becoming more and more hot topic in the community, the facts don’t indicate that MoQ is taking off just yet. It’s quite refreshing to take a look at the topic from another angle.
