A lot of blogging and follow-up discussion ensued with the announcement that IE8 supports six connections per host. The blogs I saw:
- IE8: The Performance Implications
- IE8 speeds things up
- IE8: 6 Connections Per Host
- IE 8 and Performance
- Testing IE8.s Connection Parallelism
- IE 8 Connection Parallelism Issues
It’s likely that Firefox 3 will support 6 connections per server in an upcoming beta release, which means more discussion is expected. I wanted to pull all the facts into one place and make several points that I think are important and interesting. Specifically I talk about:
- the HTTP/1.1 RFC
- settings for current browsers
- upperbound of open connections (cool!)
- effect of proxies
- will this break the Internet?
