Ultrafast single TCP packet audio/visual experience

For those you are wondering, this is a webserver that serves an HTML page in a single TCP packet. I guess ≤ 1500 bytes to avoid fragmentation - shows as 1.1KB in Chrome's network view. The HTML contains embedded JavaScript that runs a simple demo with animated ASCII and playing a LOUD changing audio tone.

You can visit the demonstration website here: http://packet.city/

You can see a screenshot of the demo here: http://www.p01.org/128b_raytraced_checkboard/

Does the high pitched sound make my Amazon Echo order something?

http://packet.city/

summary: A demo scene page that is smaller than a single IP frame and uses some flags to avoid other round trips.

view-source:http://packet.city/

The page itself and view-source only work on some browsers. Use wireshark etc to see what it actually does.

Nice. I was just reviewing some TCP fundamentals with my friend for his class, specifically sliding windows and window control, etc.

It's as if they took what we were just reading in a compsci textbook for class and directly monetized it.

>the greatest website to ever fit in a single TCP packet

a blank page would be an improvement - that was seizure inducing
