6,000 Times Faster Than Broadband
Posted: 05th Jun, 2003 By: MarkJ
Fast TCP is, believe it or not, a new Internet connection standard that's capable of transmitting data 6,000 times faster than today's broadband links!:
A key feature of Fast TCP is that it could run on the normal Internet infrastructure. The new system was developed by Steven Low and a team at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena.
The first practical test of Fast TCP sent data 10,000 kilometres from Sunnyvale, California, to the CERN particle physics laboratory near Geneva.
The average transmission rate was 925 megabits per second, compared with 266 megabits for ordinary TCP.
There's very little information available on the new technology, although by ganging ten FTCP connections together it's possible to achieve speeds of over 8.6 gigabits per second! More @ Ananova.
