All of them probably! For instance I know that the standard MS IE
browser opens up to 4 HTTP (TCP port 80) streams by default when you
open a page that has lots of images imbedded. Each of the threads
aggressively tries to download the images until all are done. Then after
30 secs they will FIN the connection. Assuming that your model is
simple, that is the only thing on you web server box (IP address) is the
HTTP web service, then just plot all the traffic between your browser
and that IP address. If there are other things going on to that server
(such as DNS) or if your web page includes images (or javascript gets
content) from other servers the you will need to be more judicious with
filtering to get the correct plot.
