Connection Reuse: The process of using the same connection to send
new requests in the backwards direction (i.e., A opens a connection
to B to send requests, and B uses the same connection to send
new requests to A.)
Connection sharing: The process of using the same connection to send
multiple requests on the same connection (and of course, receive
multiple responses over the connection.) A shared connection will
not be reused for requests in the backwards direction.
Comments? Thoughts? Suggestions? Other terms to document?
This is good, but I'd replace the sentence "A shared connection will
not..." with "Connection sharing does not imply connection reuse."
Once you get that straightened out, you can say "TCP connections are
shared by default, but should not be reused except when the recipient
has some way to authenticate the source." If "shared" *excludes*
"reused", that straightforward statment requires awkward
circumlocutions.
