Performance Analysis of Web Services in Different Types of Internet Technologies

Abstract:

Web services technology gained popularity in recent years and became an evident model of Web. The benefits offered by web services include provision of platform for interaction of several applications through the Internet. Users interact with web services by means of Internet. The tremendous advancement in Internet technology has enabled new form of services and activities. Performance of web services is of great importance to the users and is heavily dependent on underlying Internet access technologies. In this paper, we describe three mostly used Internet access technologies and analyze the performance of web services over these technologies by using open-source web service testing tools. Results of the comparison will help in better understanding the impact of these technologies on performance of web services, and also selection and usage of suitable Internet access technologies for web services.
