Have you got any data to backup that claim?

It’s also a specious argument anyway. The six connection limit isn’t purely artificial, opening and tracking TCP connection state is expensive, and happens entirely in the kernel. There’s a very real cap on how many TCP connections a machine can serve before the kernel starts barfing, and that cap is substantially lower than the number of multiplexed streams you can push over a single TCP connection.

You’re also completely ignoring TCP slow start process, which you can bet your bottom dollar will prevent six TCP streams beating six multiplexed streams over a single TCP stream when measuring latency from first connection.

Yes I do have data. You can have that data, too. Just do the testing yourself.

You’re making the claims, feel free to share the data you already have.

Oh and while doing that, also feel free to respond to the rest of comment that outlines why opening an unbounded number of TCP connections to a server might be a bad idea.
