“…Results revealed that in some cases SPDY can be used in place of the HTTP acceleration part of the PEP, thus reducing both the complexity and costs for the ISP. However, when in the presence of errors, its single‐stream nature introduces fragilities; thus, proper countermeasures should be used in the lower layers of the protocol stack (e.g., forward error control or coding scheme ).…”

Summary During the last decade, the Web has grown in terms of complexity, while the evolution of the HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) has not experienced the same trend. Even if HTTP 1.1 adds improvements like persistent connections and request pipelining, they are not decisive, especially in modern mixed wireless/wired networks, often including satellites. The latter play a key role for accessing the Internet everywhere, and they are one of the preferred methods to provide connectivity in rural areas or for disaster relief operations. However, they suffer of high‐latency and packet losses, which degrade the browsing experience. Consequently, the investigation of protocols mitigating the limitations of HTTP, also in challenging scenarios, is crucial both for the industry and the academia. In this perspective, SPDY, which is a protocol optimized for the access to Web 2.0 contents over fixed and mobile devices, could be suitable also for satellite links. Therefore, this paper evaluates its performance when used both in real and emulated satellite scenarios. Results indicate the effectiveness of SPDY if compared with HTTP, but at the price of a more fragile behavior when in the presence of errors. Besides, SPDY can also reduce the transport overhead experienced by middleboxes typically deployed by service providers using satellite links. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

HTTP is absolute essential part of the Internet. However, in the large delayed network such as mobile data network, the performance of HTTP is influenced by "TCP acknowledgement delay". In this paper, HTTP over WebSocket proxy system is proposed to defeat the delay. In proposal, HTTP is used to achieve end-to-end communication. Each HTTP request and response is encapsulated into WebSocket packet at the client and server. In this paper, proposed system is implemented on Android smartphone and evaluated delay difference characteristics.

“…In Section V-B, we study the effect of using different TCP slow-start congestion control algorithms on HTTP performance. In Section V-C, we present an evaluation of our HTTP PEP [36]. In Section V-D, we present a modification to our HTTP PEP to support user differentiation and we evaluate its performance with multiple web browsing users.…”

Abstract-The proliferation of sophisticated web technologies requires efficient tools to evaluate the performance of HTTP traffic under various conditions. In this paper, we present HTTP-Automated Evaluation (HTTP-AE) as a multi-user client-side framework for evaluating HTTP performance. The framework can be used to evaluate mechanisms, which improve HTTP performance. We present several case studies in which HTTP-AE is used to evaluate three HTTP acceleration mechanisms deployed in an emulated satellite system. These case studies show that the framework can be used to test different design aspects that may affect HTTP performance. Hence, by using the proposed framework, one can determine the advantages and limitations of different network design configurations.
