DESCRIPTION
You can use the http2 component to create, modify, display, or delete a
HTTP/2 profile.
The BIG-IP(r) system installation includes the following default
HTTP/2-type profiles:
http2
The default HTTP/2 profile contains values for properties related to
managing HTTP/2 traffic.
You can create a new HTTP/2-type profile using an existing profile as a
parent profile, and then you can change the values of the properties to
suit your needs.
EXAMPLES
create http2 my_http2_profile defaults-from http2
OPTIONS
activation-modes
Specifies what will cause a connection to be treated as a HTTP/2
connection. The values npn and alpn specify that the TLS next-
protocol-negotiation and application-layer-protocol-negotiation
will be used to determine whether HTTP/2 should be activated.
Clients that use TLS, but only support HTTP will work as-if HTTP/2
is not present. The value always specifies that all connections
are assumed to be HTTP/2 connections. The default value is { npn
alpn }.
concurrent-streams-per-connection
Specifies how many concurrent requests are allowed to be
outstanding on a single HTTP/2 connection.
connection-idle-timeout
Specifies how many seconds a HTTP/2 connection is left open idly
before it is shutdown.
defaults-from
Specifies the profile that you want to use as the parent profile.
Your new profile inherits all settings and values from the parent
profile specified. The default value is http2.
description
User defined description.
frame-size
Specifies the size of the data frames, in bytes, that HTTP/2 will
send to the client. Larger frame sizes will improve network
utilization, but may affect concurrency. The default value is
2048.
glob Displays the items that match the glob expression. See help glob
for a description of glob expression syntax.
insert-header
Specifies whether an HTTP header that indicates the use of HTTP/2
should be inserted in the request going to the back-end server.
The default value is disabled.
insert-header-name
Specifies the name of the HTTP header controlled by insert-header.
The default value is "X-HTTP2".
name Specifies a unique name for the component. This option is required
for the commands create, delete, and modify.
receive-window
Specifies the receive window, in KB. The receive window is a
mechanism used by HTTP/2 to perform flow control. The receive
window allows HTTP/2 to stall individual upload streams when
needed. This mechanism is available only for HTTP/2 version 3. The
default value is 32.
regex
Displays the items that match the regular expression. The regular
expression must be preceded by an at sign (@[regular expression])
to indicate that the identifier is a regular expression. See help
regex for a description of regular expression syntax.
write-size
Specifies the total size of combined data frames, in bytes,
HTTP/2 will send in a single write. This controls the size of the
TLS records when HTTP/2 is used over SSL. A large write size will
cause HTTP/2 to buffer more data, but will improve network
utilization. The default value is 16384.
header-table-size
Specifies the size of the header table, in bytes. The HTTP/2
protocol compresses http headers to save bandwidth. A larger table
will allow better compression, at the cost of more memory usage.
The default value is 4096 bytes. This is currently unused.
