Why call this a "pipe" number? Anyone know the etymology?

• ralph84 3y ago
  How many requests are in the pipeline.

    More "how many pipes are there between the client and server"

      It can't be that. If it were, changing the packet send rate would have no effect, but it does have an effect.
      • richardwhiuk 3y ago
        If you increase the send rate, you need more pipes to send the requests.
