I suppose the paper would show a substancial latency reduction would they select high latency networks for sampling.
I guess that on a satellite network (~600ms), latency would be greatly reduced as there is only one (and persistent) TCP connection to the proxy, with HTTP2 (or SPDY) over that (using http2 multiplexing capabilities).
This one tcp connection will be fully established and with a full tcp-window basically the whole time. The TLS with be fully negotiated and setup. Leaving the client with an optimized tunnel to google servers.
Considering that most latency on the path is on the satellite part, and google servers are on the other side of it, tcp handshakes and ssl setups to destination servers will occur on that low-latency side. Google will just push those optimized content over the tunnel to clients.
Looks like paradise.
TL,DR: Satellite clients won't open 4 connections to servers and wait for 4 tcp handshakes and slowly open those 4 connections tcp-windows for every site visited. They will open one connection to google server (on the other side of satellite) and let google do the hard work. High-latency paradise!
