<p>Interactive internet (5) activities are a very popular means for gathering information for business, personal, medical, entertainment and other purposes. Most internet interaction is asymmetrical in nature in that a client's (1) requests for information are much smaller (in data size) than the resulting information delivered by the server (7). Although the client/internet link (2, 11) is inherently asymmetrical, there remains a great deal of interaction and overhead required between the client (1) and the server (7) that increases the bandwidth needs for the client's upstream request channel (2, 3, 4). There are many advantages to reducing this upstream traffic volume and thereby making the internet interaction even more asymmetrical. Such compression (15) of request data could allow more clients (1, CP) to utilize a single upstream data path instead of separate paths.</p> |
