Internet has been changing its structure in many forms such as new browsers with lots of utilities, features etc like Mozilla firefox, google chrome and we always see there is lot of innovation happening still to improve the performance of the web. Google is one of the best company which is doing vast research and development on all sides of web and recently it started doing Research on coming up with a new protocol for the web as they found that the HTTP is not up to the mark to handle this generation website needs and requests.

So Google chromium team is busy in structuring a new Protocol which is called “SPDY protocol” which is coming soon, it’s going to concentrate mainly on the performance of the web, so soon we are going to use spdy:www.google.com instead of http://www.google.com for the better performance

Below are the important facts about this protocol.

Google’s Chromium group has announced an effort to replace the traditional HTTP web browser language with a new protocol that supposedly boosts Internet browsing by up to 55 percent. HTTP currently is the protocol used by all web servers and browsers, hence the “http” in front of web addresses. But, as noted by Ars Technica, HTTP becomes inefficient when transferring many small files on many modern websites, according to Popsci.

By contrast, Google’s cleverly named SPDY protocol can compress and handle the individual requests via one connection that’s SSL-encrypted. That allows higher-priority files to slip through immediately without becoming backed up behind large files.

SPDY has shown up to 55 percent web page loading when tested under lab conditions, and the Google team has released their source code for public feedback.

But Ars Technica raises some points of caution about the mandatory SSL encryption requiring more processing power from small devices and computers alike. Requiring SSL could also worsen the problem where server operators neglect SSL encryption and unintentionally encourage people to ignore warnings about unsecured websites.

Still Google’s team recognizes these problems and has already proposed workaround solutions. An open approach has already proven a smashing success on Google’s Android operating system, but redesigning the Internet’s architecture will undoubtedly prove trickier in the days to come.
