> I mention this because one of the things that's missing from your education about the OSI Model is that it originally envisioned everyone writing to application layer (7) APIs instead of transport layer (4) APIs. There was supposed to be things like application service elements that would handling things like file transfer and messaging in a standard way for different applications. I think people are increasingly moving to that model, especially driven by Google with go, QUIC, protobufs, and so on.

HTTP/3 aka QUIC driven by Go & protobufs ? ;))))

I feel like the adoption of HTTP/3 is going to be much much slower than HTTP/2... Besides Google Cloud do any of the major cloud providers have UDP load balancers?

I believe Akamai has implemented QUIC but I haven't heard of any other CDNs that have.

As browsers adopt it I'm sure uptake will be significant given the advantages. I'm looking forward to IP roaming.

Disagree. There's more incentive to move considering the advantages it offers. If anything it feels like people were reluctant to adopt http2 and http3 is a bigger leap that we'll all want to move forward with.

A few other CDNs have implementations, but presumably we'll see much wider adoption once it has been standardised.

AWS was working on UDP load balancing last year. [1] So, maybe 2021 GA.
