 ## SPN creation in HttpClient (.NET 6 and later)
 
-- Impacts generation of [service principal names](/windows/win32/ad/service-principal-names) (SPN) for Kerberos and NTLM authentication when `Host` header is missing and target is not running on default port.
-- .NET 6 and later versions don't include the port in the SPN, but the behavior is configurable.

+## HTTP/2 dynamic window scaling
+
+- Configures whether the HTTP/2 dynamic window scaling algorithm is disabled for flow control. The algorithm is enabled by default.
+- When set to `true`, the dynamic window scaling algorithm is disabled.
 
 | | Setting name | Values |
 | - | - | - |
-| **runtimeconfig.json** | `System.Net.Http.UsePortInSpn` | `true` - includes port number in SPN, for example, `HTTP/host:port`<br/>`false` - does not include port in SPN, for example, `HTTP/host` |

+
+## HTTP/2 stream receive window size
+
+- Configures the maximum size of the HTTP/2 stream receive window.
+- Defaults to 16 MB. The value can't be less than 65,535.
+
+| | Setting name | Values |
+| - | - | - |
+| **Environment variable** | `DOTNET_SYSTEM_NET_HTTP_SOCKETSHTTPHANDLER_FLOWCONTROL_MAXSTREAMWINDOWSIZE` | Integer (default: 16 MB; minimum: 65,535) |
+
+## HTTP/2 stream window scale threshold
+
+- Configures the multiplier used for the HTTP/2 stream window scale threshold. This multiplier controls how aggressively the receive window grows. Higher values result in a more conservative window growth, which reduces peak throughput. The value can't be less than 0.
+- Defaults to 1.0.

+| - | - | - |
+| **Environment variable** | `DOTNET_SYSTEM_NET_HTTP_SOCKETSHTTPHANDLER_FLOWCONTROL_STREAMWINDOWSCALETHRESHOLDMULTIPLIER` | Float (default: 1.0; minimum: 0) |
+
+## HTTP activity propagation
+
+Configures whether distributed tracing activity propagation is enabled for <xref:System.Net.Http.HttpClient>. When enabled, outgoing HTTP requests propagate trace context headers (such as `traceparent`) for distributed tracing tools like OpenTelemetry.
+
+| | Setting name | Values |
+| - | - | - |

+
+## Pending connection timeout on request completion
+
+Configures the timeout (in milliseconds) for completing a pending connection attempt after its initiating HTTP request finishes. When a connection is still being established after the request completes, this timeout determines how long to wait before abandoning the connection attempt.
+
+- Defaults to 5,000 (5 seconds).
+

+| - | - | - |
+| **runtimeconfig.json** | `System.Net.SocketsHttpHandler.PendingConnectionTimeoutOnRequestCompletion` | Integer (default: `5000`) |

+
+## Proxy pre-authentication
+
+When enabled, <xref:System.Net.Http.SocketsHttpHandler> proactively sends `Basic` proxy authentication credentials on the first request instead of waiting for a `407` challenge response from the proxy. This is useful for proxies that don't send `407` challenge responses.

+- Defaults to unlimited (`int.MaxValue`).

+
+## Socket inline completions
+
+Configures whether socket continuations are allowed to run on the event thread instead of being dispatched to the <xref:System.Threading.ThreadPool?displayProperty=nameWithType>. Enabling this setting can improve performance in some scenarios. However, it might degrade performance if expensive work holds the I/O thread for longer than needed.

+> [!NOTE]
+> Test to make sure enabling this setting helps performance in your specific scenario.

+## Socket thread count
+
+Configures the number of threads used for socket I/O. When not overridden, the value is calculated based on processor count and architecture. Use this setting for extreme loads only.
+
+| | Setting name | Values |
+| - | - | - |
+| **Environment variable** | `DOTNET_SYSTEM_NET_SOCKETS_THREAD_COUNT` | Integer |
+
+## IPv6
+
+Configures whether Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is disabled.

+| | Setting name | Values |
+| - | - | - |
+| **runtimeconfig.json** | `System.Net.DisableIPv6` | `false` - enabled (default)<br/>`true` - disabled |

+
+[!INCLUDE [runtimehostconfigurationoption](includes/runtimehostconfigurationoption.md)]
+
+## TLS session resumption
+
+Disables TLS session resumption for <xref:System.Net.Security.SslStream>. Session resumption allows TLS reconnections to skip a full handshake by reusing previously negotiated session parameters, which reduces latency.
+
+| | Setting name | Values |
+| - | - | - |
+| **runtimeconfig.json** | `System.Net.Security.DisableTlsResume` | `false` - enabled (default)<br>`true` - disabled |

+[!INCLUDE [runtimehostconfigurationoption](includes/runtimehostconfigurationoption.md)]
+
+## Server AIA downloads
+
+When enabled, the TLS client automatically downloads intermediate certificates from Authority Information Access (AIA) extension URLs in server certificates. This allows the client to build a complete certificate chain even when the server doesn't send the full chain.
+
+| | Setting name | Values |
+| - | - | - |
+| **runtimeconfig.json** | `System.Net.Security.EnableServerAiaDownloads` | `false` - disabled (default)<br>`true` - enabled |

+
+[!INCLUDE [runtimehostconfigurationoption](includes/runtimehostconfigurationoption.md)]
+
+## QUIC configuration caching
+
+Disables caching of MsQuic configuration objects. When enabled (default), the system caches and reuses configuration objects across connections, which reduces the overhead of TLS and QUIC setup for repeated connections with the same parameters.
+
+| | Setting name | Values |
+| - | - | - |
+| **runtimeconfig.json** | `System.Net.Quic.DisableConfigurationCache` | `false` - caching enabled (default)<br>`true` - caching disabled |
+| **Environment variable** | `DOTNET_SYSTEM_NET_QUIC_DISABLE_CONFIGURATION_CACHE` | `0` - caching enabled (default)<br>`1` - caching disabled |
+
+[!INCLUDE [runtimehostconfigurationoption](includes/runtimehostconfigurationoption.md)]
+
+## App-local MsQuic (Windows)
+
+When enabled, the QUIC implementation uses the MsQuic library from the application directory instead of the system-provided library bundled with the .NET assembly.
+
+| | Setting name | Values |
+| - | - | - |
+| **runtimeconfig.json** | `System.Net.Quic.AppLocalMsQuic` | `false` - use system MsQuic (default)<br>`true` - use app-local MsQuic |
+
+[!INCLUDE [runtimehostconfigurationoption](includes/runtimehostconfigurationoption.md)]
+
+## HttpListener kernel response buffering (Windows)
+
+When enabled, <xref:System.Net.HttpListener> buffers response data in the kernel via HTTP.sys. Kernel buffering can significantly improve throughput over high-latency connections for applications that use synchronous I/O or asynchronous I/O with at most one outstanding write at a time. Don't enable this setting for applications with multiple concurrent outstanding writes.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Enabling kernel response buffering can result in higher CPU and memory usage by HTTP.sys.
+
+| | Setting name | Values |
+| - | - | - |
+| **runtimeconfig.json** | `System.Net.HttpListener.EnableKernelResponseBuffering` | `false` - disabled (default)<br>`true` - enabled |
