  In this paper we propose and implement novel techniques for performance
evaluation of web traffic (response time, response code, etc.), with no
reassembly of the underlying TCP connection, which severely restricts the
traffic analysis throughput. Furthermore, our proposed software for HTTP
traffic analysis runs in standard hardware, which is very cost-effective.
Besides, we present sub-TCP connection load balancing techniques that
significantly increase throughput at the expense of losing very few HTTP
transactions. Such techniques provide performance evaluation statistics which
are indistinguishable from the single-threaded alternative with full TCP
connection reassembly.
