Thread per Connection vs Thread per Request

This post compares two server threading models: thread-per-connection and thread-per-request. It defines the terms 'connection' and 'request', discusses their implementation in Java web servers, and highlights the advantages and disadvantages of each model. Thread-per-connection involves a dedicated thread for each client connection, while thread-per-request uses a new thread for each request, regardless of connection status. The choice between these models depends on factors like scalability, context switching, and expected traffic patterns.
