Hi Matt, Toerless,
Thank you both for your guidance. We will proceed as suggested.
Best regards, Carsten

Hi Carsten,
I don't have a good answer unfortunately. In my opinion the mentions
of QUIC and HTTP/3 don't add a lot, and feel a bit bolted on so to
speak. This is of course understandable given the relatively recent
standardization of QUIC itself and the lack of testing experience with
it and the numerous implementations.
If it were me I would perhaps instead make a note of QUIC as a
potential transport protocol for HTTP, and acknowledge that the
document will not attempt to enumerate specific testing procedures for
it. The current text probably would not lead to useful results for
QUIC performance testing relative to TCP.
That's my two cents anyway.

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.
Best regards, Carsten
