[e2e] HTTP Deltas and parallel connections

[Aniruddha Bhalekar]

Hey Alok,

Thanks for your reply. I did try and look up the archives by subject but
couldnt find the thread about the "in the path" caches you mentioned.
Would you remember even vaguely, what month/year it was?

That surprises me because the experiments I have run using multiple
parallel (simultaneous) connections for transferring web-pages over a
high-delay link have shown upto a 25% reduction in latency, over transfers
using HTTP/1.1. Could you shed more light on this?

What I mean by a "delta" is the difference in the instances of a
file/document. I'm assuming you are refering to RFC 2616 here, though I
dont get what you mean by the IMS section.

Sincerely,
A.
