              QPACK: Header Compression for HTTP over QUIC
                        draft-ietf-quic-qpack-07

Abstract

   This specification defines QPACK, a compression format for
   efficiently representing HTTP header fields, to be used in HTTP/3.
   This is a variation of HPACK header compression that seeks to reduce
   head-of-line blocking.
