This is a HTTP protocol simulation to research the HTTP/1.1 protocol improvement.
- OMNeT++ 4.2 as the simulation tools
- INET Framework 2.0 to give the support of the 4 layer and below Internet protocl simulation
- http-tools in INET Framework to start up the browser-server simulation framework
- TCP-NSC(Network simulation Cradle) to simulate the real TCP stack instead of the TCP stack in INET Framework using the old TCP congestion control algorithms
- har file type to get the real website info as one of the simulation input
Till now, this simulation concentrates on the following improvement of HTTP/1.1:
- http pipelining introduced by HTTP/1.1 but not in common use
- http header compression introduced by HTTP/2.0
