Performance
=
Device processing Latency

Time to communication Amount of Data
+ Quantity of requests
Server processing Protocol

 The most common protocol (HTTP)
= 2 round trips
HTTP

TCP SYN « Hi !»

TCP SYN ACK « Hi ?! »

TCP ACK « There you are ! »

HTTP GET « I want this »

HTTP 200« OK »

[index.html] « Here it is : ….»

Time for one round trip = latency

Because 2 round trips are required by HTTP, first « useful » data reaches
application in 40ms for ADSL , in 300ms in 3G

Yes, it multiple the But it reduces latency

mobile traffic increased by 68 % in France
