Abstract

The paper presents an overview of the Web++ framework, a new mechanism of hypertext resource transmission specifically designed to further improve Web performance. The three components of the framework are described, along with results from experimental implementation and tests, which shows that the new architecture can be significantly faster than HTTP, with the improvement of transmission time around 70% to 400% and the same magnitude of packet savings. This, together with the full compatibility feature, validates the potential of the framework as a possible development direction to meet the challenges of future Web evolution.
