Summary

  • js/net's IETF half carried no routing information at all: no RELAY_HOPS, no HOP_PATH, no ROUTE_COST. A browser publishing a broadcast heard it announced straight back from the relay, and the relay had nothing to exclude when serving it. moq-lite has carried this natively since lite-04, so the two protocols behaved differently for the same app.
  • Adds js/net/src/ietf/cluster.ts, the moq-transport binding of draft-lcurley-moq-cluster-00, mirroring rs/moq-net/src/ietf/cluster.rs:
    • declare our own Hop ID in RELAY_HOPS on draft-17+, where SETUP is a Key-Value-Pair block, and read the peer's;
    • stamp HOP_PATH (and ROUTE_COST, omitted when 0) onto every PUBLISH_NAMESPACE and the extended NAMESPACE, but only once the peer declared a Hop ID of its own, which is the same gate rs/moq-net uses in both directions;
    • discard an advertisement whose path already ran through us: an inline NAMESPACE is dropped, and a PUBLISH_NAMESPACE is refused with a 400, matching the Rust subscriber.
  • Advertisements are updated in place, by repeating the message on the stream that already carries it, so both paths read those updates: a route re-parented through us retracts the announcement, and a clean path after that re-attaches. Without this the PUBLISH_NAMESPACE stream was acknowledged once and then only waited on its close, leaving a looped route announced.
  • A malformed advertisement is session-fatal, as the draft requires and as rs/moq-net already does (is_protocol_violation). A new ProtocolViolation error covers a message that ends before the mandatory parameter block, a block that does not parse, one with no HOP_PATH, a path that is empty / over-long / partially filled / repeats a non-zero Hop ID, and an update naming a different request or namespace than its stream. Both dispatch sites close the session on it rather than losing only the stream.
  • We are a leaf, never a relay, so the path we advertise is a single entry and the cost is 0. What declaring buys is the other direction: a relay that knows our Hop ID withholds the advertisements that already flowed through us. Behavior change: on an IETF session an app no longer sees its own broadcast announced back, which is what it has always seen on moq-lite (the Rust relay applies the same exclusion when serving, via serving_origin).
  • HOP_PATH/ROUTE_COST are now in the draft-17+ message-parameter kind table, so the typed framing added in fix(net): encode draft 17 message parameters by type #2884 covers them (odd → length-prefixed byte string, even → bare varint) instead of throwing on an unknown id.
  • Origin moves from lite/origin.ts to js/net/src/origin.ts (with MAX_HOPS and the reserved UNKNOWN_ORIGIN), mirroring crate::Origin in rs/moq-net, since both protocols use it now.

Public API changes

None. js/net's published entrypoint (src/index.ts) is unchanged; ietf/ and lite/ are internal (@internal) and not re-exported, and no package imports them by deep path. Within that internal surface: Ietf.Cluster and ProtocolViolation are new, PublishNamespace/SubscribeNamespaceEntry gain an optional cluster field and a defaulted negotiated decode argument, Publisher/Subscriber now take an options object instead of positional arguments, and MAX_HOPS moved from lite/announce.ts to origin.ts. No version bump.

Test plan

  • bun test in js/net (418 pass, 0 fail), including a new ietf/cluster.test.ts: registry code points and parity, the hop-path wire vector (no inner count, entries filling the value), advert and setup round trips, a zero cost absent from the wire, and rejection of an empty / repeated / over-long / partially-filled path plus a missing HOP_PATH.
  • New behavior tests: the publisher stamps our Hop ID only once the peer declared one; the subscriber drops a reflected NAMESPACE, retracts one that starts looping, refuses a reflected PUBLISH_NAMESPACE, retracts a PUBLISH_NAMESPACE whose update starts looping, and closes the session on an advertisement with no hop path. Each was verified to fail without its change.
  • tsc --noEmit, tsc -b tsconfig.build.json, tsc -b examples/tsconfig.json, biome check.
  • Live browser-to-relay session on moqt-19. No relay build in this environment, so the wire is verified against the Rust vectors (cluster::tests::hop_path_has_no_inner_count and the parameter framing tests) rather than end to end.

Cross-package sync

  • No draft update: this implements the existing draft-lcurley-moq-cluster-00 wire, unchanged, and adds nothing to it.
  • No rs/ change: rs/moq-net already speaks this and needs nothing from the JS side.
  • No doc change: doc/bin/relay/cluster.md describes relay-to-relay clustering and stays accurate, and no page documents @moq/net's per-extension support.

The IETF half of js/net carried no routing information at all, so a browser
publishing a broadcast heard it announced straight back from the relay, and
the relay had nothing to exclude when serving it. moq-lite has carried this
natively since lite-04; this is the moq-transport binding.

Declare RELAY_HOPS in SETUP (draft-17+, where SETUP is a Key-Value-Pair
block), stamp HOP_PATH plus ROUTE_COST onto every PUBLISH_NAMESPACE and
NAMESPACE once the peer declared one, and drop an advertisement whose path
already ran through us. We are a leaf, never a relay, so the path we send is
a single entry and the cost is 0; what declaring buys is the other direction,
where a relay that knows our Hop ID withholds what already flowed through us.

Origin moves from lite/ to the package root, mirroring crate::Origin in
rs/moq-net, since both protocols now use it.

Walkthrough

The PR adds the IETF MoQ Cluster extension with relay-hop negotiation, advertisement metadata, hop-path validation, route-cost handling, and loop detection. Session handshakes generate and exchange cluster origins, then pass negotiated hop state into IETF connections. Publishers encode cluster advertisements in namespace messages. Subscribers decode advertisements, remove reflected paths, withdraw looping announcements, and reject reflected publish requests. Shared origin constants are also used by Lite03 hop decoding.

94-102: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Consider an options object for the Publisher constructor.

The constructor now takes four positional parameters, and cluster is the second optional one. A caller must pass requiresSolicitation to reach cluster. The repository convention is an options object for a constructor that could gain more knobs.

The call sites are few: js/net/src/ietf/connection.ts line 128, js/net/src/ietf/publisher.test.ts line 89.

♻️ Proposed signature change
-	constructor(quic: WebTransport, session: Session, requiresSolicitation: boolean, cluster?: Cluster.Hops) {
-		this.#quic = quic;
-		this.#session = session;
-		this.#requiresSolicitation = requiresSolicitation;
-		this.#advert = Cluster.advertise(cluster);
+	constructor({
+		quic,
+		session,
+		requiresSolicitation,
+		cluster,
+	}: {
+		quic: WebTransport;
+		session: Session;
+		requiresSolicitation: boolean;
+		cluster?: Cluster.Hops;
+	}) {
+		this.#quic = quic;
+		this.#session = session;
+		this.#requiresSolicitation = requiresSolicitation;
+		this.#advert = Cluster.advertise(cluster);
 	}

Subscriber in js/net/src/ietf/subscriber.ts line 93 has the same shape and would benefit from the same change.

As per coding guidelines: "Take an options struct/object, not positional parameters, whenever a function or constructor could plausibly gain more knobs later."

The cluster draft requires a receiver to close the session with a
PROTOCOL_VIOLATION when a negotiated peer sends an advertisement without a
HOP_PATH, and rs/moq-net does exactly that. The JS decode only threw, which
the dispatch turned into a stream abort, so a nonconforming peer stayed
connected and could repeat the violation on the next stream.

Advertisement decoding now raises a ProtocolViolation, covering a message
that ends before the mandatory parameter block as well as one whose block
carries no HOP_PATH or an unusable path. Both dispatch sites act on it: the
bidi dispatch closes the connection, and the SUBSCRIBE_NAMESPACE loop closes
the session, since an inline NAMESPACE is decoded there and nowhere else.

Publisher and Subscriber take an options object rather than positional
arguments, so the next knob is additive.

Comment thread js/net/src/ietf/subscriber.ts
An endpoint updates an advertisement by repeating PUBLISH_NAMESPACE on the
stream that already carries it, which is the only channel one has. The
handler acknowledged the first message and then waited for the stream to
close, so a namespace re-parented onto a route through us stayed announced
and kept attracting subscriptions it could never serve.

Read the stream until it ends instead, mirroring the Rust subscriber:
detach when an update loops back, re-attach when a clean path replaces it,
and fail the session on a message that is neither an update nor the
draft-14/15/16 PUBLISH_NAMESPACE_DONE, or on one naming a different request
or namespace than the stream it arrived on.

Comment thread js/net/src/ietf/subscriber.ts
The announce loop is raced against the consumer's close, so a consumer that
closes while a message that already arrived is still decoding leaves the loop
with nothing awaiting it. Cancelling the stream does not discard what the
reader buffered, so that decode still completes: a protocol violation found
there reached no handler, leaving the peer connected, and its rejection went
unhandled.

Attach the session close to the loop itself rather than only to the awaited
path. Idempotent with the catch that handles the loop ending the race.
