Describe the impact of priority on other connections #105

Closed ianswett closed 4 years ago

ianswett commented 4 years ago

Priority is mostly within a connection, except when the server knows otherwise.

Fixes part of #87 and part of #46

I agree with @kazuho and think his suggested wording would address the comment that I made.

PS. re "a server MUST NOT use the priority values for making schedule decisions across multiple connections," I am starting to wonder if we need to be that strict. One example that will be prohibited by this provision is the use of a different congestion controller for a "background" request.

I think it might make sense to change this to SHOULD NOT, expand the Security Considerations to four sub-topics: general discussion on fairness (this PR), coalescing intermediaries (existing section 7.1), HTTP/1 (see #107), and use of different congestion controllers.

Feel free to close this once #110 lands if you'd like.
