Steady-state measurements of a multi-threaded HTTP server shows that on average the server handles 16 connections at any given point in time. If the rate with which connections are started is 48 connections per second and the time it takes a thread to service a given request is 100msec, answer the following questions:

a. What is your estimate of the average length of time that each one of these connections lasts?

b. What is the slowdown of the server?

c. What is the utilization of each of the HTTP server threads?

d. How many requests per seconds must each thread be processing?

e. What do you think is the level of threading (MPL) used by the server?

f. What assumptions did you have to make to answer the above questions?
