A video streaming platform is optimising its HTTP
communication to ensure smooth playback and fast loading times. The platform
needs to efficiently deliver multiple chunks of video data while minimising
connection overhead. The development team is considering whether to use
persistent or non-persistent HTTP. Which of the following statements about persistent and
non-persistent HTTP are correct? ( More than one option can be correct. )

A  video streaming platform is optimising its HTTP
communication to ensure smooth playback and fast loading times. The platform
needs to efficiently deliver multiple chunks of video data while minimising
connection overhead. The development team is considering whether to use
persistent or non-persistent HTTP.  Which of the following statements about persistent and
non-persistent HTTP are correct? ( More than one option can be correct. )

Answer

Persistent HTTP is preferred for streaming services
because it minimises delays between requests

Answer

Non-persistent HTTP is better suited for web
applications that require frequent, small data transfers

Answer

Persistent HTTP helps reduce latency by keeping the
connection open for multiple requests and responses

Answer

Non-persistent HTTP reuses the same connection for
multiple requests to improve performance

Answer

Persistent HTTP reduces the number of TCP connections
needed, improving efficiency
