Cleaning Up the Dirt of the Nineties - How New Protocols are Modernizing the Web
This document summarizes recent developments in web protocols, including HTTP/2, QUIC, and Multipath TCP (MPTCP). HTTP/2 modernized HTTP by introducing binary framing, multiplexing, header compression and server push. QUIC aims to replace TCP with UDP to reduce latency during connection setup. MPTCP leverages multiple network paths simultaneously for increased throughput and resilience.

- 64. Conclusion HTTP/2 was overdue Verygood browser support, good server support Fully backwards-compatbile New features (priorities, server push) to be exploited Successor (?) QUIC under development UDP instead of TCP Allows handover between different connections Little known about actual benefits Multipath TCP Uses multiple paths for load balancing and resilience Well-engineered protocol to achieve fairness criteria No public, large-scale deployment yet
