    Under HTTP 1.0, connections should always be closed by the server after sending the response. [1]Since at least late 1995, [2] developers of popular products (browsers, web servers, etc.) using HTTP/1.0, started to add an unofficial extension (to the protocol) named "keep-alive" in order to allow the reuse of a connection for multiple requests/responses.

Upon final stage timeout, a corrective action is initiated, but no other stage is started because the end of the cascade has been reached.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_flow_control

    An overwhelmed network node can send a pause frame, which halts the transmission of the sender for a specified period of time. A media access control (MAC) frame (EtherType 0x8808) is used to carry the pause command, with the Control opcode set to 0x0001 (hexadecimal). [1] Only stations configured for full-duplex operation may send pause frames.

  8. traceroute - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traceroute

    On Windows, tracert sends ICMP Echo Request packets, rather than the UDP packets traceroute sends by default. [11] The time-to-live (TTL) value, also known as hop limit, is used in determining the intermediate routers being traversed towards the destination. Traceroute sends packets with TTL values that gradually increase from packet to packet ...

  9. Client-to-client protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Client-to-client_protocol

    A CTCP PING request will determine the ping rate that directly exists between two clients (i.e. discounting the server). The CTCP PING command works by sending an (often) integer argument (a timestamp ) to a target client, the target client then responds by supplying exactly the same numerical parameter.
