  2. HTTP persistent connection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_persistent_connection

    However, the default connection timeout of Apache httpd 1.3 and 2.0 is as little as 15 seconds [6] [7] and just 5 seconds for Apache httpd 2.2 and above. [8] [9] The advantage of a short timeout is the ability to deliver multiple components of a web page quickly while not consuming resources to run multiple server processes or threads for too ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagle's_algorithm

    The user-level solution is to avoid write–write–read sequences on sockets. Write–read–write–read is fine. Write–write–write is fine. But write–write–read is a killer. So, if you can, buffer up your little writes to TCP and send them all at once. Using the standard UNIX I/O package and flushing write before each read usually works.

  4. TCP delayed acknowledgment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP_delayed_acknowledgment

    Linux 2.4.4+ supports a TCP_QUICKACK socket option that disables delayed ACK. [2] For example, consider a situation where Bob is sending data to Carol. Bob's socket layer has less than a complete packet's worth of data remaining to send. Per Nagle's algorithm, it will not be sent until he receives an ACK for the data that has already been sent.

  5. Network socket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_socket

    A network socket is a software structure within a network node of a computer network that serves as an endpoint for sending and receiving data across the network. The structure and properties of a socket are defined by an application programming interface (API) for the networking architecture.

  6. Berkeley sockets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_sockets

    Berkeley sockets originated with the 4.2BSD Unix operating system, released in 1983, as a programming interface.Not until 1989, however, could the University of California, Berkeley release versions of the operating system and networking library free from the licensing constraints of AT&T Corporation's proprietary Unix.

  7. Comet (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_(programming)

    The ability to embed Java applets into browsers (starting with Netscape Navigator 2.0 in March 1996 [11]) made two-way sustained communications possible, using a raw TCP socket [12] to communicate between the browser and the server. This socket can remain open as long as the browser is at the document hosting the applet.

  8. TCP congestion control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP_congestion_control

    There are several variations and versions of the algorithm implemented in protocol stacks of operating systems of computers that connect to the Internet. To avoid congestive collapse, TCP uses a multi-faceted congestion-control strategy. For each connection, TCP maintains a CWND, limiting the total number of unacknowledged packets that may be ...

  9. Real-Time Messaging Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_Messaging_Protocol

    The client initialises the connection by sending the C0 packet with a constant value of 0x03 representing the current protocol version. It follows straight with C1 without waiting for S0 to be received first which contains 1536 bytes, with the first four representing the epoch timestamp, the second four all being 0, and the rest being random ...
