Priority-aware forward error correction for HTTP
2022
Proceedings of the Workshop on Applied Networking Research
Preserved Fulltext
TCP has been replaced by QUIC in the latest version of HTTP (i.e., HTTP/3) to reduce the Head-Of-Line (HOL) blocking problem. Also, there have been improvements to HTTP's priority mechanism for Web resources, beyond the existing tree-based one, to improve page-load times. We propose that Forward Error Correction (FEC) for selected, high-priority resources, can be (re-)introduced to HTTP to further reduce HOL blocking effects and improve page-load times, while maintaining reasonable overheads.
