Abstract
In this work the authors show how the behaviour of Web users strongly affects the dynamics of TCP connections in Internet. Analysing actual and systematically generated HTTP traces, it is proved that the time between the download of two pages is critical to determine the re-utilisation of TCP connections. On the other hand, the study also shows that the utilisation of version 1.1 of the HTTP standard does not significantly affect the traffic generated by HTTP 1.0. In this sense, the heavy-tailed nature of the size of HTTP connections can be considered as an invariant property
