Especially in the case of advertisements, these hits may not

come from the original web site. Therefore, at the packet level

there may be many packets from many different sources that

have to be considered as part of the same web page.

Increasingly, developers are making dynamic web pages. This

means that some portion of the web page may be continuously

updated through interaction between the user and the server.

This dynamic process requires ongoing hits on the server, even

after the web page is initially ‘complete’.

Since each of these hits results in a new request from the server,

the number of packets required to assemble a web page is larger

than many people realize.
