Internals>Network>SSL
This includes issues that should be also tagged as Security>UX (certificate error pages or other security interstitials, omnibox indicators that a page is secure), and more general SSL issues. If you see requests that die in the SSL negotiation phase, in particular, this is often the correct component.
Internals>Network>Cache
The cache is the layer that handles most range request logic (Though range requests may also be issued by the PDF plugin, XHRs, or other components).
Internals>Network>HTTP
Typically not used. Unclear what it covers, and there's no specific HTTP owner.
Internals>Network>Logging
Covers about:net-internals, about:net-export as well as the what's sent to the NetLog.
Internals>Network>Connectivity
Issues related to switching between networks, ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED
, Chrome thinking it‘s online when it’s not / navigator.onLine inaccuracies, etc.
Internals>Network>Filters
Covers gzip, deflate and brotli issues. ERR_CONTENT_DECODING_FAILED
indicates a problem at this layer, and bugs here can also cause response body corruption.
Bugs in these areas often receive the Internals>Network component, though they fall largely outside the purview of the network stack team:
UI>Browser>Downloads
Despite the name, this covers all issues related to downloading a file except saving entire pages (which is Blink>SavePage), not just UI issues. Most downloads bugs will have the word “download” or “save as” in the description. Issues with the HTTP server for the Chrome binaries are not downloads bugs.
UI>Browser>SafeBrowsing
Bugs that have to do with the process by which a URL or file is determined to be dangerous based on our databases, or the resulting interstitials. Determination of danger based purely on content-type or file extension belongs in UI>Browser>Downloads, not SafeBrowsing.
Blink>Forms
Issues submitting forms, forms having weird data, forms sending the wrong method, etc.
Blink>Loader
Cross origin issues are sometimes loader related. Blink also has an in-memory cache, and when it‘s used, requests don’t appear in about:net-internals. Requests for the same URL are also often merged there as well. This does not cover issues with content/browser/loader/ files.
Blink>ServiceWorker
Blink>Storage>AppCache
Blink>Network>WebSockets
Issues with the WebSockets. Attach this component to any issue about the WebSocket feature regardless of where the cause of the issue is (net/ or Blink).
Blink>Network>FetchAPI
Generic issues with the Fetch API - missing request or response headers, multiple headers, etc. These will often run into issues in certain corner cases (Cross origin / CORS, proxy, whatever). Attach all components that seem appropriate.
Blink>Network>XHR
Generic issues with sync/async XHR requests.
Blink>WebRTC>Network
Anything WebRTC-related does not use the net stack and should go here.
Services>Sync
Sharing data/tabs/history/passwords/etc between machines not working.
Services>Chromoting
Platform>Extensions
Issues extensions loading / not loading / hanging.
Platform>Extensions>API
Issues with network related extension APIs should have this component. chrome.webRequest is the big one, I believe, but there are others.
Internals>Plugins>Pepper[>SDK]
UI>Browser>Omnibox
Basically any issue with the omnibox. URLs being treated as search queries rather than navigations, dropdown results being weird, not handling certain Unicode characters, etc. If the issue is new TLDs not being recognized by the omnibox, that‘s due to Chrome’s TLD list being out of date, and not an omnibox issue. Such TLD issues should be duped against http://crbug.com/37436.
Internals>Media>Network
Issues related to media. These often run into the 6 requests per hostname issue, and also have fun interactions with the cache, particularly in the range request case.
Internals>Plugins>PDF
Issues loading PDF files. These are often related to range requests, which also have some logic at the Internals>Network>Cache layer.
UI>Browser>Navigation
UI>Browser>History
Issues which only appear with forward/back navigation.
OS>Systems>Network / OS>Systems>Mobile / OS>Systems>Bluetooth
These should be used for issues with Chrome OS's platform network code, and not net/ issues on Chrome OS.
Blink>SecurityFeature
CORS / Cross origin issues. Main frame cross-origin navigation issues are often actually UI>Browser>Navigation issues.
Privacy
Privacy related bug (History, cookies discoverable by an entity that shouldn't be able to do so, incognito state being saved in memory or on disk beyond the lifetime of incognito tabs, etc). Generally used in conjunction with other components.
Type-Bug-Security
Security related bug (Allows for code execution from remote site, allows crossing security boundaries, unchecked array bounds, etc) should be tagged with this label.
