3.1. Header Field Compression

3.1. Header Field Compression

If the connection between the TTRP and origin is capable of field compression (e.g., HPACK [HPACK] or QPACK [QPACK]), and the TTRP multiplexes more than one client's requests into that connection, the size and variation of Client-Cert and Client-Cert-Chain field values can reduce compression efficiency significantly. An origin could mitigate the efficiency loss by increasing the size of the dynamic table. If the TTRP determines that the origin dynamic table is not sufficiently large, it may find it beneficial to always send the field value as a literal rather than entering it into the table.
