SPDY: An experimental protocol for a faster web

I saw this described elsewhere as Google’s version of “embrace and extend” but what makes it tolerable - nay, encourageable - is the open source nature; Google engineers have started the ball rolling and now they’re putting all of it out there to see if it sticks. But, can it topple HTTP?

clint:

One of these experiments is SPDY (pronounced “SPeeDY”), an application-layer protocol for transporting content over the web, designed specifically for minimal latency.  In addition to a specification of the protocol, we have developed a SPDY-enabled Google Chrome browser and open-source web server. In lab tests, we have compared the performance of these applications over HTTP and SPDY, and have observed up to 64% reductions in page load times in SPDY. We hope to engage the open source community to contribute ideas, feedback, code, and test results, to make SPDY the next-generation application protocol for a faster web.
