Compression vs. TCP |
- For HTML/XML, gzip/deflate is much better than modem builtin compression
- Compression reduces the length of the TCP session
- Compression
- Clients can request embedded objects sooner, and more embedded objects/packet; you can get TCP running faster, sooner
- Scales up faster than savings in bytes on high speed network
- Interacts with TCP slow start; since more URI's in first packet, you can fill more packets in return requests
