Reducing HTTP Request times through Utilizing BGP: An Experimental Study

Abstract

Reducing HTTP request times is considered one of the essential areas in website performance. The study focused on the importance of utilizing BGP to enhance HTTP requests and response. Addressing and highlighting some factors found in previous studies that will assist in proper implementation of BGP on the internet. The bandwidth, load balancing, implementing CDN to reduce long distances requests, and merging several related JS and CSS files to reduce HTTP requests will ultimately produce enhanced rendering time. Variety of experiments were conducted and useful results have been produced.
