§9.5.

MAX_REQUEST_ID

An endpoint sends a MAX_REQUEST_ID message to increase the number of requests the peer can send within a session.

The Maximum Request ID MUST only increase within a session, and receipt of a MAX_REQUEST_ID message with an equal or smaller Request ID value is a PROTOCOL_VIOLATION.

MAX_REQUEST_ID Message {
  Type (i) = 0x15,
  Length (16),
  Max Request ID (i),
}
Figure 7: MOQT MAX_REQUEST_ID Message
  • Max Request ID: The new Maximum Request ID for the session plus 1. If a Request ID equal to or larger than this is received by the endpoint that sent the MAX_REQUEST_ID in any request message (PUBLISH_NAMESPACE, FETCH, SUBSCRIBE, SUBSCRIBE_NAMESPACE, SUBSCRIBE_UDPATE or TRACK_STATUS), the endpoint MUST close the session with an error of TOO_MANY_REQUESTS.

MAX_REQUEST_ID is similar to MAX_STREAMS in ([RFC9000], Section 4.6), and similar considerations apply when deciding how often to send MAX_REQUEST_ID. For example, implementations might choose to increase MAX_REQUEST_ID as subscriptions are closed to keep the number of available subscriptions roughly consistent.
