Hi all.

How many bytes (connection-length) could be an http session ?

The session is relative toa couple IP-port ?

A session roughly means “a connection between source IP:port and destination IP:port from start to finish”.

A session could contain gigabytes of data, like when you download a DVD image.

Yes, but what size is for normal web browsing session ?

Did someone know a tool which could help ?

you can use the Firefox extension “Firebug”. Most of my visited paged turned out to be less than 400 kilobytes (normal browsing pages, not specific image-heavy or video pages).
