§3.5.

Termination

The Transport Session can be terminated at any point. When native QUIC is used, the session is closed using the CONNECTION_CLOSE frame ([QUIC], Section 19.19). When WebTransport is used, the session is closed using the CLOSE_WEBTRANSPORT_SESSION capsule ([WebTransport], Section 5).

The application MAY use any error message and SHOULD use a relevant code, as defined below:

Table 1
Code Reason
0x0 No Error
0x1 Internal Error
0x2 Unauthorized
0x3 Protocol Violation
0x4 Duplicate Track Alias
0x5 Parameter Length Mismatch
0x6 Too Many Subscribes
0x10 GOAWAY Timeout
0x11 Control Message Timeout
0x12 Data Stream Timeout
  • No Error: The session is being terminated without an error.

  • Internal Error: An implementation specific error occurred.

  • Unauthorized: The endpoint breached an agreement, which MAY have been pre-negotiated by the application.

  • Protocol Violation: The remote endpoint performed an action that was disallowed by the specification.

  • Duplicate Track Alias: The endpoint attempted to use a Track Alias that was already in use.

  • Too Many Subscribes: The session was closed because the subscriber used a Subscribe ID equal or larger than the current Maximum Subscribe ID.

  • GOAWAY Timeout: The session was closed because the peer took too long to close the session in response to a GOAWAY (Section 7.3) message. See session migration (Section 3.6).

  • Control Message Timeout: The session was closed because the peer took too long to respond to a control message.

  • Data Stream Timeout: The session was closed because the peer took too long to send data expected on an open Data Stream Section 8. This includes fields of a stream header or an object header within a data stream. If an endpoint times out waiting for a new object header on an open subgroup stream, it MAY send a STOP_SENDING on that stream, terminate the subscription, or close the session with an error.
