A TCP Replacement protocol 6000 times faster than DSL?
Found on slashdot: http://www.scienceblog.com/community/article2473.html Any idea what they're trying to say/sell? The article is so vague as to be mostly useless, but it seems to indicate the usual stuff like sliding windows. -S -- Scott Call Router Geek, ATGi, home of $6.95 Prime Rib I make the world a better place, I boycott Wal-Mart VoIP incoming: +1 360-382-1814
Oops: "This Account Has Been Suspended Please contact the billing/support department as soon as possible." How fast is DSL? I think mine is 64k min, so 6000x64k=384Mb .. hmm, I can transfer files currently via Gig for faster than that. But anyway, yeah they've done a bunch of benchmarks with stuff like this. Basically you hack the TCP protocol stack at either end and it flows faster, the downside is you might break a whole bunch of things by doing so and you need to change the whole worlds' tcp stacks if you want to roll this out.
