The networking<br>community is actively engaged in debating the fairness, performance, and<br>applicability of QUIC for various use cases, but these debates are centered<br>around a narrow, common theme: how does the new reliable transport built on top<br>of UDP fare in different scenarios? Support for unreliable delivery in QUIC<br>remains largely unexplored.<br> The option for delivering content unreliably, as in a best-effort model,<br>deserves the QUIC designers\' and community\'s attention. We propose extending<br>QUIC to support unreliable streams and present a simple approach for<br>implementation. We discuss a simple use case of video streaming---an<br>application that dominates the overall Internet traffic---that can leverage the<br>unreliable streams and potentially bring immense benefits to network operators<br>and content providers. To this end, we present a prototype implementation that,<br>by using both the reliable and unreliable streams in QUIC, outperforms both TCP<br>and QUIC in our evaluations.<br>},\n}\n'
