Anomaly type: transport
How each client answered
| Client | Version | Verdict | What happened |
|---|---|---|---|
| curl | ngtcp2/1.11.0 | Inconclusive | The run did not exercise this test: the client did not wait for the credit. This port grants no bidirectional stream until 700ms in, and declining to wait that long is not a violation of anything — it simply leaves the limit untested. |
| quinn | noq fork | Pass | Handled it: announced the block with 1 STREAMS_BLOCKED rather than opening a stream it had no credit for, which is what §4.6 recommends. |
| aioquic | 1.3.0 | Pass | Handled it: announced the block with 1 STREAMS_BLOCKED rather than opening a stream it had no credit for, which is what §4.6 recommends. |
| chromium | build 1223 | Pass | Handled it: announced the block with 2 STREAMS_BLOCKED rather than opening a stream it had no credit for, which is what §4.6 recommends. |
| quic-go | quic-go v0.61.0 | Pass | Handled it: announced the block with 1 STREAMS_BLOCKED rather than opening a stream it had no credit for, which is what §4.6 recommends. |
| quiche | 0.30.0 | Pass | Tolerated it and continued. The specification permits this but does not require it; a client that rejected it would also be conformant. |
| neqo | 0.31.1 | Pass | Handled it: announced the block with 1 STREAMS_BLOCKED rather than opening a stream it had no credit for, which is what §4.6 recommends. |
What the clause requires
Wait for the credit, then open the request. This port grants no bidirectional streams in its transport parameters and issues MAX_STREAMS a moment later. §4.6 is unambiguous that a client may not jump the gun — "Endpoints MUST NOT exceed the limit set by their peer" — and announcing the wait with STREAMS_BLOCKED is a SHOULD, so a client that waits quietly is equally conformant. Giving up rather than waiting is not scored as a failure: nothing obliges a one-shot client to sit on a connection it cannot use yet, and the report says which it did.
Judged against RFC 9000.
