Hi, 

I wonder if there is something in the HTTP protocol that allow to either 
speed up or slow down the transfer of byte. I understood that back pressure 
is available in TCP which i am not an expert on. However how does the HTTP 
protocol signal it to the TCP Layer. 

I could see in a webinar on the matter that using curl, one can use 
limit-rate and set a download rate for instance. Apparently this applies 
some form of back pressure on an AKKA HTTP implementation server. 


If someone could help clarify a bit this aspect that would be great. 

It seems to me that back pressure already exist in TCP/HTTP, and that AKKA 
Stream applies the same principle to more things than just TCP/HTTP. When 
it comes to TCP/HTTP, it just provide a nice interface on it. 


Kind regards,

M
