Claims
- 1. An improved method for data communication, via a packet-switching digital communications network, utilizing a communications protocol wherein the normal mode of operation is to transmit each data file as a data stream of packets separate from the data streams of other data files, wherein the improvement comprises the transmission of a multiplicity of data files via a single data stream connection whereby, within a packet switching network packet, an additional multi-thread packet header is insinuated between the network header and the user data.
- 2. A method as in claim 1, wherein said data files comprise HTTP document elements.
- 3. A method as in claim 1, wherein said data packets are divided into sub-packets and said multi-thread packet header specifies an association between said data files and said sub-packets.
