Web Technology 25-Persistent and Nonpersistent Connections

This document discusses persistent and nonpersistent connections in web technology. Nonpersistent connections use HTTP 1.0 and require opening and closing a TCP connection for each request and response, while persistent connections are the default for HTTP 1.1 and leave the TCP connection open for additional requests after a response is sent. Using persistent connections can reduce latency through pipelining and fewer round trips compared to nonpersistent connections which treat each object transfer independently.

Persistent and nonpersistent connections

Nonpersistent
HTTP 1.0
one TCP connection for
each request/response
3. the client opens a TCP
connection and sends a
request
4. the server sends the
response and closes the
connection
5. the client reads data and
closes the connection

Persistent
default for HTTP 1.1
the server leaves the TCP
connection open for more
requests after sending a
response
client sends requests for
all referenced objects as
soon as it receives base
HTML
pipelining

fewer RTT

each object transfer is


independent
