Some other reliable protocols built on UDP are 1) RUDP, made by Bell Labs for Plan9, which has a draft RFC from 1999 and 2) SCTP, notably used by WebRTC. I think I can rule out SCTP as a good fit because it has multistreaming (like QUIC) and multihoming which are both unnecessary for OCapN. RUDP seems much simpler but anything that was ever deployed seems to use something that forks from the draft spec, but perhaps it's a good starting point.

a point in favor of QUIC: it supports both reliable and unreliable communication over the same socket, so you could multiplex OCapN (reliable) and a video stream (unreliable).
