Dear Matt, Thank you for your review!
We added QUIC to the draft during one of the BMWG sessions based on suggestions from the attendees. The authors are a bit unsure how to fix the draft that's up for approval so that it would be precise and fully compliant with QUIC environments.
Do you have any specific suggestions how to correct the text, keeping QUIC in scope?
Alternatively, we could remove QUIC references and take it out of scope and cover it in a future amendment. Not the best solution, but after more than three years of drafting with so many contributors, we would like to avoid opening a new discussion area that would likely delay the work by another year.

Document: draft-ietf-bmwg-ngfw-performance-13 Reviewer: Matt Joras Review Date: 2022-01-31 IETF LC End Date: 2021-12-29 IESG Telechat date: 2022-02-03 Nits/editorial comments: Section 4.3.1.1 This section details TCP stack attributes in great detail. However, subsequently HTTP/3 and QUIC are both mentioned in 4.3.1.3.. QUIC is in need of tuning just as much as TCP, if not more. " HTTP/3 emulated browser uses QUIC ([RFC9000]) as transport protocol." should be reworded, and I'm not exactly sure what it is trying to convey. "Depending on test scenarios and selected HTTP version, HTTP header compression MAY be set to enable or disable." should probably read " be enabled or disabled." Similarly in sections 7, there is a lot of specific mention of TCP connections, TCP RSTs, FINs, etc. and continued mentioning of HTTP. Since QUIC is a significant carrier of HTTP traffic it seems these sections should not be so specific to TCP. Especially since it seems as though for these kinds of devices their limits may very well be different for UDP or TCP flows.
