Paper Title
An Evaluation of How Much http/1.1 Outperforms http/1.0

Abstract
Generally, HTTP/1.1 with persistent connection provides better performance than HTTP/1.0 with non-persistent connection in terms of response time. However, there has been no discussion about actual performance gain of the persistent connection compared to the non-persistent connection. We found the performance improvement is not as high as our expectation especially when the underlying network is not reliable enough. In this paper, we share our experiment results and discuss why the ideal performance of persistent connection is difficult to achieve. Keywords - HTTP, TCP, Non-Persistent Connection, Persistent Connection, Congestion Control.
