HIGHLIGHT OF ATIS ACTIVITIES

• ATIS’ “Analysis of the SPDY Protocol and SPDY Proxy” addresses Google’s experimental protocol for a faster web. • SPDY has been submitted to the IETF for standardization as

HTTP 2.0. • ATIS launched the Open Web Alliance (OWA) to develop

requirements for an open service optimization proxy to meet the service needs of all stakeholders in the web ecosystem while supporting the goals of encryption and privacy – issues central to HTTP 2.0’s success. • To address SPDY’s impact on network management and value-

added services, OWA will publish an open service optimization proxy document before the completion of HTTP 2.0 (November 2014).
