Title
Modeling HTTP/2 Speed from HTTP/1 Traces.
Abstract
With the standardization of HTTP/2, content providerswant to understand the benefits and pitfalls of transitioning to the new standard. Using a large dataset of HTTP/1.1 resource timing data from production traffic on Akamai’s CDN, and a model of HTTP/2 behavior, we obtain the distribution of performance differences between the protocol versions for nearly 280,000 downloads. We find that HTTP/2 provides significant performanceimprovements in the tail, and, for websites for which HTTP/2 does not improve median performance, we explore how optimizations like prioritization and push can improve performance, and how these improvements relate to page structure.
