Technology/Topic: A Method of Substantially Accelerating Data Reliably Over High and Low Speed Networks Using the TCP/IP Protocol
URL: https://www.4bridgeworks.com
=====================================
Welcome to the Technical Exchange Meeting (TEM)!
Bridgeworks’ PORTrockIT nodes enable data transfers between endpoints at near-line speed, utilising the maximum amount of available bandwidth, substantially mitigating the effects of Latency and Packet Loss.
TCP/IP is the protocol of choice to transport data across networks in both commercial and military environments. It’s a transaction protocol that ensures the delivery of all the sent packets. However, one of its greatest disadvantages is the requirement to “acknowledge” a series of packets before any more packets can be transmitted. This requirement is known as Round Trip Turn Around, or Latency. This has a devastating effect on the performance of transmission speed as 10ms of Latency can cause an 80% drop in performance. We have an AI autonomous self-tuning managed process to return the performance back to 70-90% of the network Speed.
Bridgeworks WAN Acceleration Nodes can accelerate data transfers without any requirement to inspect or alter the data being transferred. This means that we can accelerate the data even if it’s encrypted, as we do not need the encryption keys to do so. As Bridgeworks nodes are first pass acceleration devices, they do not store/cache any data on them and they are very lightweight on CPU and Memory resources. Traditional methods of “WAN-Optimisation” use many different techniques to manipulate the data to minimise the data down to improve the transfer speed. Other operators use methods such as Compression, Deduplication and Caching to shrink and store the data, prior to being transferred; so, there is less data to send, thus shortening the transfer time. These processes are resource intensive, costly and are unable to take advantage of encrypted data transfers.
