ngtcp2 — Stream limits set to the minimum a request needs

Pass

Tolerated it and continued. The specification permits this but does not require it; a client that rejected it would also be conformant.

The client did what the clause requires.

What was measured

Client

ngtcp2 — ngtcp2 + nghttp3 (direct), 3c23148

Test

Stream limits set to the minimum a request needs — q-stream-limit

Clause

RFC 9000 §4.6 (MUST NOT)

Class

discretionary — The RFC permits either behaviour; the report says which was chosen.

Required behaviour

Stay inside the advertised limits. Respecting them is a MUST — §4.6 says "Endpoints MUST NOT exceed the limit set by their peer" — but announcing the stall with STREAMS_BLOCKED is only a SHOULD, so a client that stays silent is still conformant.

Reproduce it

The suite is the judge, so the reproduction is to point the same client at the same test and let the server report what it saw.

SESSION=$(curl -sX POST https://conformance.pqcrypta.com/session | jq -r .id)
# then drive ngtcp2 at the test URL and read the verdict:
curl -s https://conformance.pqcrypta.com/report/$SESSION.json | jq '.results["q-stream-limit"]'
