HTTP/2 protocol

(bright music) - [Instructor] Imagine sending a letter through the postal system, which is a helpful metaphor for how data travels across the internet or within the service-based architecture between different network functions. Each layer of the network stack represented key step in this journey, ensuring the message is delivered securely, reliably, and in the right order. It all starts with the application layer where the message is created. Think of this as the letter writer. One of the most important writer is the HTTP2, which is like a bilingual secretary that communicates between the client and the server. So unlike HTTP 1.1, which is the previous version, which opened multiple separate connections, HTTP2 supports multiplexing, which allows multiple requests to share a single connection in 5G core network.
