Factors related to the delay time over the HTTP environment

Abstract

This research considered the delay time over the HTTP environment by a client requested web page from a server by pass through a hub. The physical factor of client affect the delay time that are considered as the independent variables such as types of processors and sizes of memory. Furthermore, the delay time is also effected from sizes of web page and types of web page. Considering verious sizes of web pages and classifying web page by the ratio between the texts and graphics used for each page, these are counted as independent variables in this experiment. Additionally we also determine the differences between various browsers as an independent variable of our research. The experiment is done in intranet for each of fixed independent variables. A delay time is measured and recorded after completed reloading a web page. All observation values are applied for creating a model for predicting a proper delay time. The model is in the form of multiple regression that various factors related to the delay time. Using the obtained model, the correctness of a delay time prediction is 85% accuracy. Thus, the researcher believes that this result will help improving the efficiency of any intranets designing
