[e2e] Number of persistent connections per HTTP server?

[=?gb2312?q?Jing=20Shen?=]

Hi Pradnya, 

Thanks for your reply. 

My another question is, what's the allocated bandwidth
for?
means adjust TCP rate or IP packet enjection rate.

If it's for IP packet rate, does your method need
resource reservation along the path? is there any
relationship with InterServ/DiffServ? 

Would you please give a little more word ons your
opinion of "what's the fairness between sessions? and
fairness between
connections?" I think the fairness is a little bit
difficult to define.

thanks
