Re: [hybi] SPDY protocol from google frame



Another point is that these numbers apply to deployed protocols like HTTP. For new protocols, the numbers are quite a bit different. And it's new protocols where the competition is going on, and where easy debugability counts. I'm sure this was the case for HTTP when it was 'young'. It may or may not apply to SPDY or other protocols proposed today.

Ok, I will give you a few thousand. Either way, it's many orders of

could care less how easy it is to debug data on the wire, and just want
their webpage to load fast.

The point of SPDY was to make the web faster. Billions of users requesting
pages, want to speed it up. Of those billions of users, perhaps 100 care
whether it's binary or ASCII. Using ASCII just so that it's easier for 100
people to look at the traffic on the wire without any "specialized tools"
while slowing it down for billions of users seems like a strange tradeoff.

Hm. Are you sure about the "100"?
