URLs that share the same address may also share the same underlying TCP socket connection. Sharing a connection has substantial performance benefits: lower latency, higher throughput (due to [TCP slow start](https://www.igvita.com/2011/10/20/faster-web-vs-tcp-slow-start/)) and conserved battery. OkHttp uses a [ConnectionPool](https://square.github.io/okhttp/4.x/okhttp/okhttp3/-connection-pool/) that automatically reuses HTTP/1.x connections and multiplexes HTTP/2 connections.
