Using the results obtained in section 7.2 and the characteristics of documents available on the World Wide Web, a study is presented on how T/TCP can benefit, or otherwise, some of the suggestions for improving the HTTP protocol.
The main case for the introduction of compression and delta encoding is the reduction in the size of the data that needs to be transferred. The results obtained from the performance analysis of T/TCP suggest that a greater benefit is obtained on small data transfers. The compression and delta encoding ideas result in data small enough that can be sent in one packet. Under these conditions, T/TCP operates best.
P-HTTP puts forward the idea that a connection should be semi-permanent, unlike the current open-close operation HTTP currently employs. In this scenario, T/TCP will not work at all because of its transaction-oriented style.
