	abstract = {The demand for internet access has been characterized by an exponential growth. The introduction of high-speed satellite communications systems providing direct-to-home internet is a response to this increasing demand. However such systems use geo-synchronous satellites and suffer from high latency. Currently, the most popular application layer protocols for the World Wide Web (WWW) are HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1. Since HTTP is a request-response protocol, there are performance issues with using it over high-delay links such as links involving Geo-synchronous Earth Orbit (GEO) satellites. Such usage leads to severely increased user perceived latency which makes "internet browsing" a cumbersome experience. In this paper we investigate this problem and analyze a mechanism to reduce this user-perceived delay.},

	abstract = {The demand for Internet access has been characterized by an exponential growth. The introduction of high-speed satellite communication systems providing direct-to-home Internet services is a response to this increasing demand. However, such systems suffer from high delay-bandwidth product and high bit-error-rate which causes degradation in the performance of HTTP, which is a request-response type, application-layer protocol over TCP. In this paper we investigate HTTP/1.0, HTTP/1.1 and analyze different mechanisms to reduce the user-perceived delay and improve the performance of Internet delivery over satellite links. The paper also suggests other mechanisms, such as multiple parallel connections and a delta encoding implementation to overcome the above-mentioned problem. We show that there is a marked improvement in Internet browsability and user-perceived delay, using these methods.},
