**CC:** Congestion controller. Estimates network channel capacity and imposes
limits on transmissions accordingly.
-**CFQ:** Control Frame Queue. Considered part of the FIFM, this implements
-the CFQ strategy for frame in flight management. For details, see FIFM
-design document.

+GCR strategy for frame in flight management. For details, see FIFM design

**Channel:** See `QUIC_CHANNEL`.
**CID:** Connection ID.
-**CMPL:** The maximum number of bytes left to serialize another QUIC packet into
-the same datagram as one or more previous packets. This is just the MDPL minus
-the total size of all previous packets already serialized into to the same
-datagram.
+**CMPL:** Coalescing Maximum Packet Length. The maximum number of bytes left to
+serialize another QUIC packet into the same datagram as one or more previous
+packets. This is just the MDPL minus the total size of all previous packets
+already serialized into to the same datagram.
-**CMPPL:** The maximum number of payload bytes we can put in the payload of
-another QUIC packet which is to be coalesced with one or more previous QUIC
-packets and placed into the same datagram. Essentially, this is the room we have
-left for another packet payload.

**CSM:** Connection state machine. Refers to some aspects of a QUIC channel. Not
implemented as an explicit state machine.
-**DCID:** Destination Connection ID. Found in most QUIC packet headers.
+**DCID:** Destination Connection ID. Found in all QUIC packet headers.
**DEMUX:** The demuxer routes incoming packets to the correct connection QRX by
DCID.
**GCR:** Generic Control Frame Retransmission. A strategy for regenerating lost
frames. Stores raw frame in a queue so that it can be retransmitted if lost. See
-FIFM design document for details.
+FIFM design document for details. Implemented by the CFQ.
**Key epoch:** Non-negative number designating a generation of QUIC keys used to
encrypt or decrypt packets, starting at 0. This increases by 1 when a QUIC key
a datagram. The MDPL may vary based on both local source IP and destination IP
due to different path MTUs.
-**MinDPL:** In some cases we must ensure a datagram has a minimum size of a
-certain number of bytes. This does not need to be accomplished with a single
-packet, but we may need to add PADDING frames to the final packet added to a
-datagram in this case.

+datagram has a minimum size of a certain number of bytes. This does not need to
+be accomplished with a single packet, but we may need to add PADDING frames to
+the final packet added to a datagram in this case.
-**MinPL:** The minimum serialized packet length we are using while serializing a
-given packet. May often be 0. Used to meet MinDPL requirements, and thus equal
-to MinDPL minus the length of any packets we have already encoded into the
-datagram.

**MPL:** Maximum Packet Length. The maximum size of a fully encrypted and
serialized QUIC packet in bytes in some given context. Typically equal to the
MDPL and never greater than it.
-**MPPL:** The maximum number of plaintext bytes we can put in the payload of a
-QUIC packet. This is related to the MDPL by the size of the encoded header and
-the size of any AEAD authentication tag which will be attached to the
-ciphertext.

**MSMT:** Multi-stream multi-thread. Refers to a type of multi-stream QUIC usage
in which API calls can be made on different threads.
`SSL_new` using a QUIC method, or by a QLSO.
**QCTX**: QUIC Context. This is a utility object defined within the QUIC APL
-which helps to unwrap an SSL object pointer (a QCSO or QSSO) into the relevant
-structure pointers such as `QUIC_CONNECTION` or `QUIC_XSO`.

**RXL:** RXE list. See RXE.
-**RCMPPL:** The number of bytes left in a packet whose payload we are currently
-forming. This is the CMPPL minus any bytes we have already put into the payload.
+**RCMPPL:** Remaining CMPPL. The number of bytes left in a packet whose payload

**TA:** Thread assisted mode.
