I've been considering an HTTP/2 front cache. I'm currently using Varnish 4.1, and I know that V6 handles it, but what are the real worthwhile benefits of switching to H2 for cache like this?

Is it a significant enough difference that is worth the effort? Where do the benefits kick in?

Seems in order to use HTTP/2 in Varnish, Hitch has to be put in front of varnish.

With H2 you have multiplexing, single connection, and so on, also server push which is not yet implemented yet.
