That actually really surprises me. Is this just a limitation of the major implementations, or is there something fundamental about the design that slows it down

That actually really surprises me. Is this just a limitation of the major implementations, or is there something fundamental about the design that slows it down? (I'm not familiar with the details of the protocol)
- gaika 18y agoProtocol itself is ok, the problem is that it is tunneled inside TCP, so on top of TCP SYN/ACKs you have HTTPs certificate exchange and then cypher negotiation just to establish connection. Once established the cypher becomes another slowdown.
- procrastitron 18y agoThat makes sense. Thanks.
- aflag 18y agoWould it make things unbearable? I've accessed https websites and I didn't even know they were slower up until now. Am I missing something?
