Yeah, that was precisely the set of trade offs :-)

OTOH, I heard folks calling to banish the “no messing with a flow within 5-tuple” principle, so my hack may not have an overly long shelf life.

Next up: Everything just ends up being QUIC because you can't fuck with what you can't see inside :).

		Potentially. However, anecdotally a lot of service providers treat UDP to stricter rate limiting than TCP because it’s unauthenticated nature, so there is a back-pressure factor there. Also: RFC9000 for QUIC is almost 50% longer than RFC9293 that is the new one for TCP - so, I would expect the implementation would be probably more complex ? In the absence of that, everything will go over HTTP :-)
