Consider a link, over which a sender can transmit at a rate of R=100bits/s in both directions. Suppose that packets containing data are of size LD=100Kbits and packets containing only control (e.g. ACKs, handshake and GET requests) are of size LA=200bits. Assume that N parallel connections get an equal portion of 1/N of the link bandwidth. Now consider the HTTP protocol and consider that following a website visit the client needs to download 10 objects each of size 100Kbits. Calculate the time to download the web page using parallel sessions and non-persistent HTTP. Now calculate the time to download the same web page using persistent HTTP. Provide a brief discussion of your results.

Note: Assume that the propagation and processing delays are negligible and that the sender and receiver buffers are not overloaded.
