....on a per request basis to the server where the request is best serviced. We obtain the coordination needed to allow control pipe and data pipe to reside on different nodes through a simple protocol, which we call split stack. Half pipe anchoring goes beyond existing connection handoff protocols [16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22] in at least two respects. First, it supports efficient multiple handoffs of the same connection by allowing requests to be pipelined a node processing request r 1 can hand off the connection to a new node for the processing of the next request r 2 before all TCP traffic related to r 1 has been ....

....of 15 KB, our prototype incurs an overhead of 16 in the response time perceived by a client in a LAN. The same overhead drops to 0.5 in a WAN environment with an average round trip latency of 30 ms. We compare the performance of our prototype against an existing multiple handoff solution(KNITS) [18] and find that the overhead incurred by our handoff solution is at most one third that of KNITS. The rest of the paper is organized as follows. Section 2 explores the design space of existing solutions and then presents a case for the requirement of a novel multiple connection handoff mechanism ....
