People like their computers to work quickly. During the transition
to new technology, both old and new technologies have to peacefully
co-exist. However, if users experience connection delays attributed
to the new technology the new technology will be shunned.
HTTP ("The Web") is one of the most visible and time-critical
applications that is used by nearly every Internet user. It is
critical that new technologies which improve HTTP not impair or delay
the display of HTTP content. It is also important that users retain
the ability to share URIs amongst friends and colleagues, even if the
other users have not upgraded to the new technology.
This draft makes several recommendations to ensure user satisfaction
and a smooth transition from HTTP's pervasive IPv4 to IPv6 and from
TCP to SCTP.
The audience for this draft is application developers and content
providers. This draft is discussed on the Applications Discuss
mailing list, https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/apps-discuss.
