 /**
  * Access to Platform-specific features necessary for SPDY and advanced TLS.
  *
- * <h3>SPDY</h3>
- * SPDY requires a TLS extension called NPN (Next Protocol Negotiation) that's
- * available in Android 4.1+ and OpenJDK 7+ (with the npn-boot extension). It
- * also requires a recent version of {@code DeflaterOutputStream} that is
- * public API in Java 7 and callable via reflection in Android 4.1+.
+ * <h3>ALPN and NPN</h3>
+ * This class uses TLS extensions ALPN and NPN to negotiate the upgrade from
+ * HTTP/1.1 (the default protocol to use with TLS on port 443) to either SPDY
+ * or HTTP/2.0.
+ *
+ * <p>NPN (Next Protocol Negotiation) was developed for SPDY. It is widely
+ * available and we support it on both Android (4.1+) and OpenJDK 7 (via the
+ * Jetty NPN-boot library).
+ *
+ * <p>ALPN (Application Layer Protocol Negotiation) is the successor to NPN. It
+ * has some technical advantages over NPN. We support it on Android (4.4+) only.
+ *
+ * <p>On platforms that support both extensions, OkHttp will use both,
+ * preferring ALPN's result. Future versions of OkHttp will drop support NPN.
+ *
+ * <h3>Deflater Sync Flush</h3>
+ * SPDY header compression requires a recent version of {@code
+ * DeflaterOutputStream} that is public API in Java 7 and callable via
+ * reflection in Android 4.1+.
