http1/2 protocol has just about run its course. 

New internet devices now absorbs so much bandwidth but see little real
performance improvement other than employing better methods to handle the
latency.

Enter a new protocol named SPDY (pronounced speedy). Most of the major
players in the browser market have been building support for this protocol
but Microsoft is still... 

The one big issue is that the new protocol is not backward compatible.
Fortunately, the second largest adopted web server INGNX (pronounced
engineX) is now fully supporting the new standard.
