RFC 9000, published in May 2021, marks an important milestone for the Internet's standardization body, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF): finally, the specification of the QUIC protocol is available. QUIC is the result of a five-year effort - and it is also the second of two major protocols (the first being SPDY, which later became HTTP/2) that Google LLC first deployed, and then brought to the IETF for standardization. This begs the question: when big players follow such a "shoot first, discuss later" approach, is IETF collaboration still "real", or is the IETF now being (mis-)used to approve protocols for standardization when they are already practically established, without really actively involving anyone but the main proponents?

IETF 中的合作

RFC 9000 于 2021 年 5 月发布，标志着互联网标准化机构互联网工程任务组 (IETF) 的一个重要里程碑：最终，QUIC 协议的规范可用。QUIC 是五年努力的结果 - 它也是 Google LLC 首先部署的两个主要协议（第一个是 SPDY，后来成为 HTTP/2）中的第二个，然后将其带到 IETF 进行标准化。这就引出了一个问题：当大玩家遵循这种“先拍摄，后讨论”的方法时，IETF 协作是否仍然“真实”，或者 IETF 现在是否（错误）用于批准已经实际建立的标准化协议，除了主要支持者之外没有真正积极参与任何人？
