TCP Slow-Start

* From High Performance Browser Networking by Ilya GrigorikChapter 1. Primer on Latency And Bandwidth

Advantages• No HTTP Overhead

• Duplex Connection - Server is able to send updates

• Low latency requests - TCP Connection is already open

• Data transfer grows as more data comes through the pipe

• Can send binary data

• Cross Origin

Disadvantages• No Caching

• No Proxies

• Clients can lose connection to the server

• Compatibility (IE9 and below)

• Security - CSWSH (Cross Origin Web Socket Hijacking)
