And isn't HTTP/2 telling people to stream content from a single server instead of opening multiple connections? I can see HTTP/2 accelerators speeding up traffic by multiplexing requests to the application, CDN, affiliates, etc into a single connection.
- grrowl 11y agoIt will only multiplex requests to a single host— the layer at which it operates means it will need to connect to both contentprovider.com and ad.networks.com over distinct TCP connections.
- whoopdedo 11y agoRight. The accelerator accepts the connection from the client as a proxy but connects to the myriad backends. The downstream side only sees one multiplexed stream with the responses from the multiple servers.
