Considerations on response time
z WAP1.x would take an advantage if content size were small,
HTTP/TCP would take an advantage if content size were large.
y 500byte(64kbps): WTP1.x is better than HTTP/TCP.
y 100Kbyte(64kbps): HTTP/TCP is better than WAP1.x.
z Reason
1. Because TCP slow start algorithm prevents making full use of network
resources in the slow start phase, WTP is better than TCP in case of
small contents.
2. WTP responder can send the number of packets based on the window
size, but the WTP responder has to wait until the subsequent
acknowledgement is received. That waiting time results in the increase
of total response time.
3. TCP performance is better when transmitting large contents because
dynamic flow control mechanism works well provided that the large size
of buffer is prepared in the client.
