For HTTP the patch is a SPDY-/HTTP/2-like protocol, the performance of HTTP is currently limited because it does not do multiplexing.

SPDY/2 is currently supported by Firefox, Chrome. An Apache module from Google, there is a beta patch from the nginx developers, node.js module, a Java server implementation and some beta C-client- and server-libraries and implementations.
