FIX:

Yes, self-service client connections are faster than a remote connection using TCP.
Network connections are organized as a series of layers. Every network transmission moves down through the layers on its originating system, travels across the physical medium, and then moves up through the same stack of layers on the destination system.
This is seen as overhead and adds to connectivity time.
