474	<p>This document describes SPDY, a protocol designed for low-latency transport of content over the World Wide Web. SPDY introduces
475	two layers of protocol. The lower layer is a general purpose framing layer which can be used atop a reliable transport (likely
476	TCP) for multiplexed, prioritized, and compressed data communication of many concurrent streams. The upper layer of the protocol
477	provides HTTP-like <a href="#RFC2616">RFC2616</a> <cite title="Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1" id="rfc.xref.RFC2616.1">[RFC2616]</cite> semantics for compatibility with existing HTTP application servers.

603	<p id="rfc.section.1.p.1">One of the bottlenecks of HTTP implementations is that HTTP relies on multiple connections for concurrency. This causes several
604	problems, including additional round trips for connection setup, slow-start delays, and connection rationing by the client,
605	where it tries to avoid opening too many connections to any single server. HTTP pipelining helps some, but only achieves partial
606	multiplexing. In addition, pipelining has proven non-deployable in existing browsers due to intermediary interference.
607	</p>
608	<p id="rfc.section.1.p.2">SPDY adds a framing layer for multiplexing multiple, concurrent streams across a single TCP connection (or any reliable transport
609	stream). The framing layer is optimized for HTTP-like request-response streams, such that applications which run over HTTP
610	today can work over SPDY with little or no change on behalf of the web application writer.
611	</p>
612	<p id="rfc.section.1.p.3">The SPDY session offers four improvements over HTTP: </p>
613	<ul class="empty">
614	<li>Multiplexed requests: There is no limit to the number of requests that can be issued concurrently over a single SPDY connection.</li>
615	<li>Prioritized requests: Clients can request certain resources to be delivered first. This avoids the problem of congesting the
616	network channel with non-critical resources when a high-priority request is pending.
617	</li>
618	<li>Compressed headers: Clients today send a significant amount of redundant data in the form of HTTP headers. Because a single
619	web page may require 50 or 100 subrequests, this data is significant.
620	</li>
621	<li>Server pushed streams: Server Push enables content to be pushed from servers to clients without a request.</li>
622	</ul>
623	<p id="rfc.section.1.p.4">SPDY attempts to preserve the existing semantics of HTTP. All features such as cookies, ETags, Vary headers, Content-Encoding
624	negotiations, etc work as they do with HTTP; SPDY only replaces the way the data is written to the network.
625	</p>
626	<h2 id="rfc.section.1.1"><a href="#rfc.section.1.1">1.1</a> Document Organization
627	</h2>
628	<p id="rfc.section.1.1.p.1">The SPDY Specification is split into two parts: a framing layer (<a href="#FramingLayer" title="SPDY Framing Layer">Section 2</a>), which multiplexes a TCP connection into independent, length-prefixed frames, and an HTTP layer (<a href="#HTTPLayer" title="HTTP Layering over SPDY">Section 3</a>), which specifies the mechanism for overlaying HTTP request/response pairs on top of the framing layer. While some of the
629	framing layer concepts are isolated from the HTTP layer, building a generic framing layer has not been a goal. The framing
630	layer is tailored to the needs of the HTTP protocol and server push.

648	</h2>
649	<p id="rfc.section.2.1.p.1">The SPDY framing layer (or "session") runs atop a reliable transport layer such as <a href="#RFC0793">TCP</a> <cite title="Transmission Control Protocol" id="rfc.xref.RFC0793.1">[RFC0793]</cite>. The client is the TCP connection initiator. SPDY connections are persistent connections.
650	</p>
651	<p id="rfc.section.2.1.p.2">For best performance, it is expected that clients will not close open connections until the user navigates away from all web
652	pages referencing a connection, or until the server closes the connection. Servers are encouraged to leave connections open
653	for as long as possible, but can terminate idle connections if necessary. When either endpoint closes the transport-level
654	connection, it MUST first send a GOAWAY (<a href="#GOAWAY" title="GOAWAY">Section 2.6.6</a>) frame so that the endpoints can reliably determine if requests finished before the close.
655	</p>

657	</h2>
658	<p id="rfc.section.2.2.p.1">Once the connection is established, clients and servers exchange framed messages. There are two types of frames: control frames (<a href="#ControlFrames" title="Control frames">Section 2.2.1</a>) and data frames (<a href="#DataFrames" title="Data frames">Section 2.2.2</a>). Frames always have a common header which is 8 bytes in length.
659	</p>
660	<p id="rfc.section.2.2.p.2">The first bit is a control bit indicating whether a frame is a control frame or data frame. Control frames carry a version
661	number, a frame type, flags, and a length. Data frames contain the stream ID, flags, and the length for the payload carried
662	after the common header. The simple header is designed to make reading and writing of frames easy.
663	</p>
664	<p id="rfc.section.2.2.p.3">All integer values, including length, version, and type, are in network byte order. SPDY does not enforce alignment of types

1169	is, only between the two endpoints of a SPDY connection. If there are one or more intermediaries between the client and the
1170	origin server, flow control signals are not explicitly forwarded by the intermediaries. (However, throttling of data transfer
1171	by any recipient may have the effect of indirectly propagating flow control information upstream back to the original sender.)
1172	Flow control only applies to the data portion of data frames. Recipients must buffer all control frames. If a recipient fails
1173	to buffer an entire control frame, it MUST issue a stream error (<a href="#StreamErrorHandler" title="Stream Error Handling">Section 2.4.2</a>) with the status code FLOW_CONTROL_ERROR for the stream.
1174	</p>
1175	<p id="rfc.section.2.6.8.p.2">Flow control in SPDY is implemented by a data transfer window kept by the sender of each stream. The data transfer window
1176	is a simple uint32 that indicates how many bytes of data the sender can transmit. After a stream is created, but before any
1177	data frames have been transmitted, the sender begins with the initial window size. This window size is a measure of the buffering
1178	capability of the recipient. The sender must not send a data frame with data length greater than the transfer window size.
1179	After sending each data frame, the sender decrements its transfer window size by the amount of data transmitted. When the
1180	window size becomes less than or equal to 0, the sender must pause transmitting data frames. At the other end of the stream,

1204	</p>
1205	<p id="rfc.section.2.6.8.p.11">When a SPDY connection is first established, the default initial window size for all streams is 64KB. An endpoint can use
1206	the SETTINGS control frame to adjust the initial window size for the connection. That is, its peer can start out using the
1207	64KB default initial window size when sending data frames before receiving the SETTINGS. Because SETTINGS is asynchronous,
1208	there may be a race condition if the recipient wants to decrease the initial window size, but its peer immediately sends 64KB
1209	on the creation of a new connection, before waiting for the SETTINGS to arrive. This is one case where the window size kept
1210	by the sender will become negative. Once the sender detects this condition, it must stop sending data frames and wait for
1211	the recipient to catch up. The recipient has two choices:
1212	</p>
1213	<ul class="empty">
1214	<li>immediately send RST_STREAM with FLOW_CONTROL_ERROR status code.</li>
1215	<li>allow the head of line blocking (as there is only one stream for the session and the amount of data in flight is bounded by

1217	</li>
1218	</ul>
1219	<p id="rfc.section.2.6.8.p.12">In the case of option 2, both sides must compute the window size based on the initial window size in the SETTINGS. For example,
1220	if the recipient sets the initial window size to be 16KB, and the sender sends 64KB immediately on connection establishment,
1221	the sender will discover its window size is -48KB on receipt of the SETTINGS. As the recipient consumes the first 16KB, it
1222	must send a WINDOW_UPDATE of 16KB back to the sender. This interaction continues until the sender's window size becomes positive
1223	again, and it can resume transmitting data frames.
1224	</p>
1225	<p id="rfc.section.2.6.8.p.13">After the recipient reads in a data frame with FLAG_FIN that marks the end of the data stream, it should not send WINDOW_UPDATE
1226	frames as it consumes the last data frame. A sender should ignore all the WINDOW_UPDATE frames associated with the stream
1227	after it send the last frame for the stream.

1235	decide to send requests for resources from different origins on the same SPDY session if it decides that that server handles
1236	both origins. For example if the IP address associated with both hostnames matches and the SSL server certificate presented
1237	in the initial handshake is valid for both hostnames. However, because the SSL connection can contain at most one client certificate,
1238	the client needs a mechanism to send additional client certificates to the server.
1239	</p>
1240	<p id="rfc.section.2.6.9.p.2">The server is required to maintain a vector of client certificates associated with a SPDY session. When the client needs to
1241	send a client certificate to the server, it will send a CREDENTIAL frame that specifies the index of the slot in which to
1242	store the certificate as well as proof that the client posesses the corresponding private key. The initial size of this vector
1243	must be 8. If the client provides a client certificate during the first TLS handshake, the contents of this certificate must
1244	be copied into the first slot (index 1) in the CREDENTIAL vector, though it may be overwritten by subsequent CREDENTIAL frames.
1245	The server must exclusively use the CREDNETIAL vector when evaluating the client certificates associated with an origin. The
1246	server may change the size of this vector by sending a SETTINGS frame with the setting SETTINGS_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE_VECTOR_SIZE

1535	<p id="rfc.section.3.1.1.p.1">SPDY provides a GOAWAY message which can be used when closing a connection from either the client or server. Without a server
1536	GOAWAY message, HTTP has a race condition where the client sends a request (a new SYN_STREAM) just as the server is closing
1537	the connection, and the client cannot know if the server received the stream or not. By using the last-stream-id in the GOAWAY,
1538	servers can indicate to the client if a request was processed or not.

1540	<p id="rfc.section.3.1.1.p.2">Note that some servers will choose to send the GOAWAY and immediately terminate the connection without waiting for active
1541	streams to finish. The client will be able to determine this because SPDY streams are determinstically closed. This abrupt
1542	termination will force the client to heuristically decide whether to retry the pending requests. Clients always need to be
1543	capable of dealing with this case because they must deal with accidental connection termination cases, which are the same
1544	as the server never having sent a GOAWAY.

1668	resources avoids the round-trip delay, but also creates a potential race where a server can be pushing content which a user-agent
1669	is in the process of requesting. The following mechanics attempt to prevent the race condition while enabling the performance
1670	benefit.
1671	</p>
1672	<p id="rfc.section.3.3.p.2">Browsers receiving a pushed response MUST validate that the server is authorized to push the URL using the <a href="#RFC6454">browser same-origin</a> <cite title="The Web Origin Concept" id="rfc.xref.RFC6454.3">[RFC6454]</cite> policy. For example, a SPDY connection to www.foo.com is generally not permitted to push a response for www.evil.com.
1673	</p>
1674	<p id="rfc.section.3.3.p.3">If the browser accepts a pushed response (e.g. it does not send a RST_STREAM), the browser MUST attempt to cache the pushed
1675	response in same way that it would cache any other response. This means validating the response headers and inserting into
1676	the disk cache.
1677	</p>
1678	<p id="rfc.section.3.3.p.4">Because pushed responses have no request, they have no request headers associated with them. At the framing layer, SPDY pushed
1679	streams contain an "associated-stream-id" which indicates the requested stream for which the pushed stream is related. The
1680	pushed stream inherits all of the headers from the associated-stream-id with the exception of ":host", ":scheme", and ":path",
1681	which are provided as part of the pushed response stream headers. The browser MUST store these inherited and implied request
1682	headers with the cached resource.
1683	</p>
1684	<p id="rfc.section.3.3.p.5">Implementation note: With server push, it is theoretically possible for servers to push unreasonable amounts of content or
1685	resources to the user-agent. Browsers MUST implement throttles to protect against unreasonable push attacks.

1688	</h3>
1689	<p id="rfc.section.3.3.1.p.1">When the server intends to push a resource to the user-agent, it opens a new stream by sending a unidirectional SYN_STREAM.
1690	The SYN_STREAM MUST include an Associated-To-Stream-ID, and MUST set the FLAG_UNIDIRECTIONAL flag. The SYN_STREAM MUST include
1691	headers for ":scheme", ":host", ":path", which represent the URL for the resource being pushed. Subsequent headers may follow
1692	in HEADERS frames. The purpose of the association is so that the user-agent can differentiate which request induced the pushed
1693	stream; without it, if the user-agent had two tabs open to the same page, each pushing unique content under a fixed URL, the
1694	user-agent would not be able to differentiate the requests.
1695	</p>
1696	<p id="rfc.section.3.3.1.p.2">The Associated-To-Stream-ID must be the ID of an existing, open stream. The reason for this restriction is to have a clear
1697	endpoint for pushed content. If the user-agent requested a resource on stream 11, the server replies on stream 11. It can
1698	push any number of additional streams to the client before sending a FLAG_FIN on stream 11. However, once the originating
1699	stream is closed no further push streams may be associated with it. The pushed streams do not need to be closed (FIN set)
1700	before the originating stream is closed, they only need to be created before the originating stream closes.
1701	</p>
1702	<p id="rfc.section.3.3.1.p.3">It is illegal for a server to push a resource with the Associated-To-Stream-ID of 0.</p>
1703	<p id="rfc.section.3.3.1.p.4">To minimize race conditions with the client, the SYN_STREAM for the pushed resources MUST be sent prior to sending any content
1704	which could allow the client to discover the pushed resource and request it.

1706	<p id="rfc.section.3.3.1.p.5">The server MUST only push resources which would have been returned from a GET request.</p>
1707	<p id="rfc.section.3.3.1.p.6">Note: If the server does not have all of the Name/Value Response headers available at the time it issues the HEADERS frame
1708	for the pushed resource, it may later use an additional HEADERS frame to augment the name/value pairs to be associated with
1709	the pushed stream. The subsequent HEADERS frame(s) must not contain a header for ':host', ':scheme', or ':path' (e.g. the
1710	server can't change the identity of the resource to be pushed). The HEADERS frame must not contain duplicate headers with
1711	a previously sent HEADERS frame. The server must send a HEADERS frame including the scheme/host/port headers before sending
1712	any data frames on the stream.

1742	</h1>
1743	<p id="rfc.section.4.p.1">Authors' notes: The notes in this section have no bearing on the SPDY protocol as specified within this document, and none
1744	of these notes should be considered authoritative about how the protocol works. However, these notes may prove useful in future
1745	debates about how to resolve protocol ambiguities or how to evolve the protocol going forward. They may be removed before
1746	the final draft.
1747	</p>
1748	<h2 id="rfc.section.4.1"><a href="#rfc.section.4.1">4.1</a> Separation of Framing Layer and Application Layer
1749	</h2>
1750	<p id="rfc.section.4.1.p.1">Readers may note that this specification sometimes blends the framing layer (<a href="#FramingLayer" title="SPDY Framing Layer">Section 2</a>) with requirements of a specific application - HTTP (<a href="#HTTPLayer" title="HTTP Layering over SPDY">Section 3</a>). This is reflected in the request/response nature of the streams, the definition of the HEADERS and compression contexts
1751	which are very similar to HTTP, and other areas as well.
1752	</p>
1753	<p id="rfc.section.4.1.p.2">This blending is intentional - the primary goal of this protocol is to create a low-latency protocol for use with HTTP. Isolating
1754	the two layers is convenient for description of the protocol and how it relates to existing HTTP implementations. However,
1755	the ability to reuse the SPDY framing layer is a non goal.
1756	</p>
1757	<h2 id="rfc.section.4.2"><a href="#rfc.section.4.2">4.2</a> Error handling - Framing Layer
1758	</h2>
1759	<p id="rfc.section.4.2.p.1">Error handling at the SPDY layer splits errors into two groups: Those that affect an individual SPDY stream, and those that
1760	do not.
1761	</p>
1762	<p id="rfc.section.4.2.p.2">When an error is confined to a single stream, but general framing is in tact, SPDY attempts to use the RST_STREAM as a mechanism
1763	to invalidate the stream but move forward without aborting the connection altogether.
1764	</p>
1765	<p id="rfc.section.4.2.p.3">For errors occuring outside of a single stream context, SPDY assumes the entire session is hosed. In this case, the endpoint
1766	detecting the error should initiate a connection close.
1767	</p>
1768	<h2 id="rfc.section.4.3"><a href="#rfc.section.4.3">4.3</a> One Connection Per Domain
1769	</h2>
1770	<p id="rfc.section.4.3.p.1">SPDY attempts to use fewer connections than other protocols have traditionally used. The rationale for this behavior is because
1771	it is very difficult to provide a consistent level of service (e.g. TCP slow-start), prioritization, or optimal compression
1772	when the client is connecting to the server through multiple channels.
1773	</p>
1774	<p id="rfc.section.4.3.p.2">Through lab measurements, we have seen consistent latency benefits by using fewer connections from the client. The overall
1775	number of packets sent by SPDY can be as much as 40% less than HTTP. Handling large numbers of concurrent connections on the
1776	server also does become a scalability problem, and SPDY reduces this load.
1777	</p>
1778	<p id="rfc.section.4.3.p.3">The use of multiple connections is not without benefit, however. Because SPDY multiplexes multiple, independent streams onto
1779	a single stream, it creates a potential for head-of-line blocking problems at the transport level. In tests so far, the negative
1780	effects of head-of-line blocking (especially in the presence of packet loss) is outweighed by the benefits of compression
1781	and prioritization.
1782	</p>
1783	<h2 id="rfc.section.4.4"><a href="#rfc.section.4.4">4.4</a> Fixed vs Variable Length Fields
1784	</h2>
1785	<p id="rfc.section.4.4.p.1">SPDY favors use of fixed length 32bit fields in cases where smaller, variable length encodings could have been used. To some,
1786	this seems like a tragic waste of bandwidth. SPDY choses the simple encoding for speed and simplicity.
1787	</p>
1788	<p id="rfc.section.4.4.p.2">The goal of SPDY is to reduce latency on the network. The overhead of SPDY frames is generally quite low. Each data frame
1789	is only an 8 byte overhead for a 1452 byte payload (~0.6%). At the time of this writing, bandwidth is already plentiful, and
1790	there is a strong trend indicating that bandwidth will continue to increase. With an average worldwide bandwidth of 1Mbps,
1791	and assuming that a variable length encoding could reduce the overhead by 50%, the latency saved by using a variable length
1792	encoding would be less than 100 nanoseconds. More interesting are the effects when the larger encodings force a packet boundary,
1793	in which case a round-trip could be induced. However, by addressing other aspects of SPDY and TCP interactions, we believe
1794	this is completely mitigated.
1795	</p>
1796	<h2 id="rfc.section.4.5"><a href="#rfc.section.4.5">4.5</a> Compression Context(s)
1797	</h2>
1798	<p id="rfc.section.4.5.p.1">When isolating the compression contexts used for communicating with multiple origins, we had a few choices to make. We could
1799	have maintained a map (or list) of compression contexts usable for each origin. The basic case is easy - each HEADERS frame
1800	would need to identify the context to use for that frame. However, compression contexts are not cheap, so the lifecycle of
1801	each context would need to be bounded. For proxy servers, where we could churn through many contexts, this would be a concern.
1802	We considered using a static set of contexts, say 16 of them, which would bound the memory use. We also considered dynamic
1803	contexts, which could be created on the fly, and would need to be subsequently destroyed. All of these are complicated, and
1804	ultimately we decided that such a mechanism creates too many problems to solve.
1805	</p>
1806	<p id="rfc.section.4.5.p.2">Alternatively, we've chosen the simple approach, which is to simply provide a flag for resetting the compression context.
1807	For the common case (no proxy), this fine because most requests are to the same origin and we never need to reset the context.
1808	For cases where we are using two different origins over a single SPDY session, we simply reset the compression state between
1809	each transition.
1810	</p>
1811	<h2 id="rfc.section.4.6"><a href="#rfc.section.4.6">4.6</a> Unidirectional streams
1812	</h2>
1813	<p id="rfc.section.4.6.p.1">Many readers notice that unidirectional streams are both a bit confusing in concept and also somewhat redundant. If the recipient
1814	of a stream doesn't wish to send data on a stream, it could simply send a SYN_REPLY with the FLAG_FIN bit set. The FLAG_UNIDIRECTIONAL
1815	is, therefore, not necessary.
1816	</p>
1817	<p id="rfc.section.4.6.p.2">It is true that we don't need the UNIDIRECTIONAL markings. It is added because it avoids the recipient of pushed streams from
1818	needing to send a set of empty frames (e.g. the SYN_STREAM w/ FLAG_FIN) which otherwise serve no purpose.
1819	</p>
1820	<h2 id="rfc.section.4.7"><a href="#rfc.section.4.7">4.7</a> Data Compression
1821	</h2>
1822	<p id="rfc.section.4.7.p.1">Generic compression of data portion of the streams (as opposed to compression of the headers) without knowing the content
1823	of the stream is redundant. There is no value in compressing a stream which is already compressed. Because of this, SPDY does
1824	allow data compression to be optional. We included it because study of existing websites shows that many sites are not using
1825	compression as they should, and users suffer because of it. We wanted a mechanism where, at the SPDY layer, site administrators
1826	could simply force compression - it is better to compress twice than to not compress.
1827	</p>
1828	<p id="rfc.section.4.7.p.2">Overall, however, with this feature being optional and sometimes redundant, it is unclear if it is useful at all. We will
1829	likely remove it from the specification.
1830	</p>
1831	<h2 id="rfc.section.4.8"><a href="#rfc.section.4.8">4.8</a> Server Push
1832	</h2>
1833	<p id="rfc.section.4.8.p.1">A subtle but important point is that server push streams must be declared before the associated stream is closed. The reason
1834	for this is so that proxies have a lifetime for which they can discard information about previous streams. If a pushed stream
1835	could associate itself with an already-closed stream, then endpoints would not have a specific lifecycle for when they could
1836	disavow knowledge of the streams which went before.

1845	</h2>
1846	<p id="rfc.section.5.2.p.1">At the application level, HTTP uses name/value pairs in its headers. Because SPDY merges the existing HTTP headers with SPDY
1847	headers, there is a possibility that some HTTP applications already use a particular header name. To avoid any conflicts,
1848	all headers introduced for layering HTTP over SPDY are prefixed with ":". ":" is not a valid sequence in HTTP header naming,

1852	</h2>
1853	<p id="rfc.section.5.3.p.1">By utilizing TLS, we believe that SPDY introduces no new cross-protocol attacks. TLS encrypts the contents of all transmission
1854	(except the handshake itself), making it difficult for attackers to control the data which could be used in a cross-protocol
