Essentially, there was a time when you could not host more than one
HTTPS-enabled site per IP address and port combination. This was a
problem for virtual hosting configurations where the server name in the
request was used to decide what content to serve. SNI allows for
identifying the server associated with the request early in the
connection so that a matching SSL certificate can be used for the
connection. Or something along those lines.
