Abstract: This patent document describes, among other things, improved methods and systems for managing H2 data writes to a socket in the context of prioritized HTTP v2 (“H2”) streams. Properly respecting the different priorities of H2 streams is important. The techniques described herein make intelligent write scheduling decisions based on the state of the TCP connection (e.g., congestion window), socket buffer state, on the type of web resource being sent, and other factors.

Abstract: This disclosure describes systems and methods for predictive prefetching. A server can be modified in accordance with the teachings hereof to predictively prefetch a second object for a client (referred to herein as the dependent object), given a request from the client for a first object (referred to herein as the parent object). When enough information about a parent object request is available, the predictive prefetching techniques disclosed herein can be used to calculate the likelihood that one or more dependent objects might be requested. This enables a server to prefetch them from local or remote storage device, from an origin server, or other source.
