HTTP3 is exciting, I got a couple of questions:

1. is QUIC only for HTTP3 or can be generalized for any TCP-based L7 protocol but over TLS/UDP?

2. How is Websockets dealt with in HTTP3?




From the link:

> The QUIC working group that was established to standardize the protocol within the IETF quickly decided that the QUIC protocol should be able to transfer other protocols than "just" HTTP.

> ...

> The working group did however soon decide that in order to get the proper focus and ability to deliver QUIC version 1 on time, it would focus on delivering HTTP, leaving non-HTTP transports to later work.
