In this paper, several options for defining such fun factors using delay and rate components are presented. In order to better understand the influence of delays and transmission rates, two extensive traffic traces have been evaluated (i) to yield information about the way browsers use persistent and parallel HTTP/TCP connections to access Web servers and (ii) to serve as an example for quantifying quality of service by fun factors.
