HTTP/2 Test Profiles

H/2 test profiles measure framework performance under multiplexed streams. The TLS variants model edge-facing deployments; the cleartext (h2c) variants model reverse-proxy-to-origin and service-to-service deployments inside a trust boundary.

Baseline (TLS)Same workload as baseline over encrypted HTTP/2 connections with TLS and stream multiplexing.Static Files (TLS)Serves 20 static files of various types over HTTP/2 with multiplexed streams, simulating a browser page load.Baseline (h2c)Same /baseline2 endpoint over HTTP/2 cleartext on port 8082 - no TLS, prior-knowledge framing. Anti-cheat verifies the port refuses HTTP/1.1.JSON (h2c)JSON serialization workload over HTTP/2 cleartext on port 8082. Same 7 (count, m) rotation as the H/1 json profile.
