Naming consistency of frames #359

Open mirjak opened 1 month ago

mirjak commented 1 month ago

We should maybe review the names of the frames, e.g.:

1) Should we rename ACK_MP to MP_ACK? Or PATH_ACK?

2) Is it MP_NEW_CONNECTION_ID or maybe rather PATH_NEW_CONNECTION_ID or NEW_PATH_CONNECTION_ID or go shorter to PATH_NEW_CID or something?

3) Depending on the final definition is could be MAX_PATHS or MAX_PATH_ID

I'd support that we rename the MAX_PATHS frame to MAX_PATH_ID frame. It's easier to understand and has less ambiguity in implementation.

Proposal is to rename ACK_MP to MP_ACK. @qdeconinck will propose a PR.

I still have a doubt about the names of frames. The new frames are:

We could leave it at that, or we could harmonize to:

Harmonizing to "PATH_" and not using the prefix "MP" anywhere would help with the general message that "this is just an extension of QUIC, not a new protocol, we definitely don't want to call it MP_QUIC".
