For over two decades, the internet's real-time communication ecosystem has relied on a combination of specialized protocols such as RTMP for ingest, HLS and DASH for scale, and WebRTC for interactivity, each addressing specific challenges but collectively leading to complexities and trade-offs in latency, scale, and operational efficiency. In response, Cloudflare has launched the Media over QUIC (MoQ) relay network as a solution to unify these disparate technologies into a single, flexible protocol, built on the modern transport layer of QUIC, which eliminates issues such as TCP head-of-line blocking and enables sub-second latency at broadcast scale. Developed through a collaborative effort at the IETF alongside industry giants like Meta and Google, MoQ offers a simplified architecture for real-time applications, supporting both high and low bandwidth data with features like prioritization and congestion control, while maintaining interoperability with existing systems. As Cloudflare rolls out MoQ in over 330 cities, the protocol is available for free testing during its tech preview phase, with plans for transparent pricing once fully launched, inviting developers to explore its potential for future real-time applications.
