Hi! I have a few :)

How close are we to having QUIC actually usable in browsers (meaning both browsers and infrastructure supports it, and it 'just works')

How does QUIC get around the NAT problem? WebRTC requires STUN/TURN to get through full cone NAT, particularly the latter is problematic, since it requires a bunch of infra to run.

And while WebRTC solves some rather hard problems like P2P transfers, the beauty of DASH is that is can rely on existing servers and clients. So I am also quite puzzled on the comparison. Particularly as the post do not get into much detail on the path forward. I feel sometimes we are rather getting back to an AOL style Internet, that just connects dedicated clients to a CDN.
