one subtle issue is with scalability of servers. if you use TCP you can send ea ch PDU over the same connection. you can also build server farms using boxes that put lots of machines behind a single IP address because such boxes keep track of which connection goes to which server host. with HTTP you have to do this differently - probably using redirects to urls that resolve to specific hosts. -Keith (sorry about formatting.
