Benefits are only reflected

Benefits are only reflected when you have multiple simultaneous conversations with the server.  It doesn’t increase the bandwidth for a single conversation, unless the single client has multiple NICs.

Note:  The router/switch has to be able to support the protocol as well.

Benefit:

• Does not change packet format
– No added headers or sequence numbers
– Type/Length interpretation unchanged
• Does not require added buffers
– No fragmentation or reassembly
• Does not re-order or mis-order packets
• Does not add significant latency
• Achieves high utilization (the more network connections, the better)
