If the decoder encounters a reference to an entry which has already been dropped
from the table or which is greater than the declared Largest Reference, this
MUST be treated as a stream error of type `HTTP_QPACK_DECOMPRESSION_FAILED`
error code. If this reference occurs on the control stream, this MUST be
treated as a session error.

## Avoiding Head-of-Line Blocking in HTTP/QUIC {#overview-hol-avoidance}

Because QUIC does not guarantee order between data on different streams, a
header block might reference an entry in the dynamic table that has not yet been
received.

Each header block contains a Largest Reference (see {{absolute-index}}) which
Each header block contains a Largest Reference which
identifies the table state necessary for decoding. If the greatest absolute
index in the dynamic table is less than the value of the Largest Reference, the
stream is considered "blocked." While blocked, header field data should remain
