I didn't mean to imply that it is competing with open web standards; I apologize if it came out that way. I was trying to make the case that for instance performance benefits in http3 wouldn't apply to the connection that Argo maintains to origin since it is a different protocol and what your thoughts was on this.

Ah. That makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.

We actually use standard protocols for the Argo Tunnel connection and we'd look at HTTP/3 as a possible mechanism for it. I agree that if there's a persistent connection the benefits of QUIC (and HTTP/2) are lessened compared to a browser doing a drive by on a web site. This is one reason the OP above is wrong about Cloudflare, HTTP/2 and Railgun.

Yes, the railgun comment was why I wanted to elaborate on the subject. Thanks for your insight.
