Title: | HTTP/3's Extensible Prioritization Scheme in the Wild | Authors: | HERBOTS, Joris MARX, Robin WIJNANTS, Maarten QUAX, Peter LAMOTTE, Wim |
Issue Date: | 2024 | Publisher: | Association for Computing Machinery | Source: | ANRW '24: Proceedings of the 2024 Applied Networking Research Workshop, Association for Computing Machinery, p. 1 -7 | Abstract: | For HTTP/2 and HTTP/3, multiple (Web page) resources are loaded by multiplexing them onto a single TCP or QUIC connection. A "prioritization system" is used to properly schedule the order in which the resources are sent. As HTTP/2's "prioritization tree" underperformed, a more straightforward setup called the Extensible Prioritization Scheme (EPS) was proposed for HTTP/3. This paper represents the first real-world measurement study into how this new scheme is supported and employed in practice by the three main browser engines and 12 different popular servers and cloud/CDN deployments. We find considerable heterogeneity in overall EPS (sub)feature support and even fundamental differences in approach/philosophy between the stacks. As incorrect prioritization can have a negative effect on (Web) performance metrics, our work not only provides essential insights for browser vendors and server deployments but also offers recommendations for future improvements. | Keywords: | QUIC;HTTP;Prioritization;Browsers;Servers;CDN;Resource Loading;Web Performance Optimization | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/43545 | ISBN: | 9798400707230 | DOI: | 10.1145/3673422.3674887 | Datasets of the publication: | 10.5281/zenodo.12544401 | Datasets of the publication: | https://github.com/http3-prioritization/aioquic | Category: | C1 | Type: | Proceedings Paper |
