Update h2 windowing algo & Http Client benchmark #388

TingDaoK · 2022-08-26T00:04:56Z

Initial build of our http client benchmark
Test using a local host, that using our http client to connect to the host and collect how many requests are made during a certain time.
To run:
- start the python local host: https://github.com/awslabs/aws-c-http/tree/main/tests/py_localhost
- build aws-c-http with AWS_BUILD_CANARY=ON cmake flag
- cd build/bin/canary && ./canary

ISSUE FOUND & FIXED

We update the window for connection for each data frame received, which really slows us down for frequent small chunk of data frames receiving.
- We fixed it by only update the connection window whenever it drops to 50% of the max.
- Same issue may happens to streams windows
- Or the padding of the connection window.
Providing tiny increments to flow control in WINDOW_UPDATE frames can cause a sender to generate a large number of DATA frames. from here
- Is the client's responsibility to make sure not doing this? Even if the user do manual window update and doing small window update?
h2: respect the initial window size setting #514

nit: pull this magic number into a constant?

it's derive from a constant... and it's more clear about where it comes from/

extremely debatable: you could just leave these out of the public options, until someone actually asks for it

I think we can keep it. It makes the documentation easier to explain the behavior.😉

utterly trivial. It's already in a struct named thread_data, no need to repeat

Suggested change
