The reason for the abysmal performance is that the accessed server is spending an inordinate amount of time managing two problems; an unnecessarily large number of transport connections and the transmission of masses of redundant data without optimization. This work addresses both problems. This document presents an introduction to the concepts and architecture of network traffic consolidation. It is not intended to describe a complete protocol with every ancillary feature but rather to focus on performance driven core ideas that could become a part of emerging commercially featured protocols.}, }
