A major reason for the slow average speed of http traffic is a bad match between http and TCP/IP. A TCP/IP connection starts slow and if it finds out that the network can handle more it speeds up the data rate. But a typical web page consists of many small files. And for each file it builds up a new TCP/IP connection wich starts up slow again. I think sooner or later either the http or the TCP/IP protocol will be changed to address the performance problems of the most popular TCP/IP application. FTP tranfer starts slowly too but with a long file it will reach the maximum speed that the network connection can handle. For FTP tranfers over a T3 link and 10 MBit Ethernet I got all speeds between 1 Kbit/s to 5 Mbit/s. Andreas
