42.1.2 PackMimeHTTP Server Application

Each web server controls the response sizes that are transferred. The server is started by when a new TCP connection is started. Each PackMimeHTTP client takes the following steps:

• listen for an HTTP request from the associated client
• when the entire request arrives, the server samples the server delay time from the server delay distribution
• set a timer to expire when the server delay has passed
• when the timer expires, the server sends response (the size of which was sampled by the client and passed to the server)
• this process is repeated until the requests are exhausted - the server is told how many requests will be sent in the connection
• send a FIN to close the connection
