Performance Evaluation Of HTTP/2 In Mobile Devices

HTTP/2 is the new generation of protocol that promises to fix HTTP/l.x workloads by proposing new features and help the speed of the Web.Despite all the efforts,HTTP/2's performance characteristics over mobile are not well understood.We test both the validity of its underlying assumptions and the performance benefits available via existing implementations.In particular,we evaluate HTTP/2's design decision to multiplex all data transfer between server and client through a single TCP connection.We also appraise performance differences between HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2.We discover that HTTP/2 will not meet its goals of measurable improvement over H1 via an LTE connection,and the single TCP connection may claim part of the blame.We suggest that additional optimization for example server push and QUIC may be necessary to obtain noticeable improvements.
