To clarify what I meant, as my wording is poor: The sender trumps the receiver until the sender processes the SETTINGS frame, allowing for a significant number of requests to be sent with a table size of 4096 (since headers have no flow control, and also the wording seems to not disallow a client from putting off processing of the inbound frame). This makes it hard to have a (mostly) stateless proxy that splits or aggregates requests, limiting the scalability and throughput of the system.
