Question: 1. Consider running HTTP over a LAN with a one-way end-to-end propagation delay = 1 ms, bandwidth = 100 Mbps, and size of requested web

1. Consider running HTTP over a LAN with a one-way end-to-end propagation delay = 1 ms, bandwidth = 100 Mbps, and size of requested web object = 1000 bytes. Calculate the effective throughput for non-persistent HTTP assuming we only consider the transmission and propagation delay of the requested web object. We are ignoring the processing time delay and the transmission time delay associated with the HTTP request/response headers.

2. Please repeat (1) for persistent HTTP assuming the TCP connection is already set up. How much gain in effective throughput (in relative percentage terms) can be obtained via persistent HTTP?
