TCP Overview
• Provides reliability, error checking, ordered packets in a stream
• Congestion control built in
• Internet could not survive without it
• Works well for most internet traffic, email, web browsing small ad-hoc transfers (HTTP, FTP, SFTP, SMTP etc)

Efficient Transport Protocol
FileCatalyst transfers files at full link speed:
• UDP with proprietary retransmission and congestion control
• Patent pending algorithm built from the ground up in-house
• Transfer rates up to 10 Gbps (with encryption) using commodity hardware
• Not affected by latency and speed degrades, linearly with packet loss
• Ability to fully leverage multi-core CPU architecture

File Transfer Issues with TCP
• Flow control limits transmission window, causes dead air with high latency
• Very aggressive in response to network congestion, cannot tune in application layer
• Result is less than ideal performance on wireless, satellite, or long haul links
• Can be tuned but still not ideal for many-one, one-many

TCP is a very serial process. Each packet of data must be received before a new packet is sent = Decreased transfer speed

Acceleration with FileCatalyst
• Ideal for bulk file transfer
• Predictable - Can send at a perfect rate
• Not affected by latency or packet loss
• Congestion Control implemented in application layer
• Tunable congestion control aggression
• Instantly detect link capacity

FileCatalyst completely saturates the pipe by sending multiple blocks of data = Increased transfer speed

UDP File Transfer Considerations
• Plays fair with other traffic on network
• 10 Gbps file transfer, single stream. Found by independent study to be only solution to maintain 10 Gbps with high latency and packet loss.
• High performance for many small files
• Security, reliability, automatic resume
• Automation tools, SDK, central management
