Media Over QUIC Transport (MOQT) is a publish/subscribe protocol that runs over QUIC [QUIC] or WebTransport [WebTransport]. Publishers produce data that is delivered to subscribers either point-to-point or through intermediate relays. MOQT leverages transport features such as streams, datagrams, priorities, and partial reliability to support a wide range of use cases with different resiliency and latency needs, from live to interactive, without compromising scalability.

Despite its name, MOQT is content agnostic. MoQ Streaming Formats define how specific content types are encoded, packaged, and mapped to MOQT objects, along with policies for discovery and subscription.

  • Section 2 describes the data model employed by MOQT.

  • Section 3 covers aspects of setting up an MOQT session.

  • Section 7 covers mechanisms for prioritizing subscriptions.

  • Section 9 covers behavior at the relay entities.

  • Section 10 covers how control messages are encoded on the wire.

  • Section 11 covers how data messages are encoded on the wire.

This is one section of the MoQT specification, rendered per-section for quick reference and citation. The authoritative text is draft-ietf-moq-transport-19 at the IETF.
