When asked by ITO what impacts of the web on application delivery were, Crawford said 'The web really has had an enormous impact on application deliver. There are two highly important values of the web: 1. it has made it possible to deploy a ubiquitous, universal client that is highly flexible and 2. it leverages an equally flexible medium to communicate information to that client.'
Wesson found, 'Web protocols are extremely chatty, creating massive increases in the volume of application traffic.'
