$.$ Consider a short, $10-$meter link, over which a sender can transmit at a rate

of $151$ bits$/$sec in both directions. Suppose that packets containing data

are $100,000$ bits long, and packets containing only control $($e$.$g$.,$ ACK or

handshaking$)$ are $200$ bits long. Assume that N parallel connections each

get $1/$N of the link bandwidth. Now consider the HTTP protocol, and suppose

that each downloaded object is $100$ Kbits long, and that the initial downloaded

object contains $10$ referenced objects from the same sender$.$ Would parallel

downloads via parallel instances of non$-$persistent HTTP make sense in this

case? Now consider persistent HTTP$.$ Do you expect significant gains over

the non$-$persistent case? Justify and explain your answer.
