Geographic Location for Media over QUIC Relays
This document defines a mechanism for Media over QUIC (MoQ) relays to
advertise their geographic location (geocode) and related path
metrics. Some clients require their media data to remain locally or
geo-fenced within specific jurisdictions for privacy and security
compliance (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, or sector-specific regulations). This
mechanism enables service providers to track the geographic path of
media packets through the relay mesh and to enforce geo-fencing
policies. It supports Geo-Distributed Orchestration and Routing
(GDOR), data residency compliance, latency optimization, and relay
selection. The specification includes optional IATA airport codes as
human-readable geographic identifiers for major relay locations.
