- Protocol pipelining
Protocol pipelining is a technique in which multiple requests are written out to a single socket without waiting for the corresponding responses. Pipelining can be used in various
application layer network protocol s, likeHTTP/1.1 ,SMTP ,FTP .The pipelining of requests results in a dramatic improvement in protocol performance, especially over high latency connections (such as satellite Internet connections).
