November 2025: Delivered tangible improvements to QUICHE-based networking stacks across google/quiche and moq-wg/moq-transport. Key features include BBRv1 enablement for MOQ to improve performance and responsiveness in adverse networks, enhanced bitrate management with out-of-order ACK tracking and reordering integration, and the inline SendBuffer for QUIC streams to boost performance. Build configuration modernization now sources googleurl from GitHub, simplifying maintenance. A flaky MOQT assertion was temporarily disabled to stabilize the test suite while rate-adaptation issues in the simulator are investigated.
