FastTCP™: A Patented, End-to-end Solution

The predominate Internet transmission protocol, TCP carries more than 90% of all Internet traffic worldwide. But as traffic continues to grow exponentially in both volume and in size, TCP is causing severe bottlenecks, particularly for quality-sensitive content like video.

FastSoft’s patented FastTCP™ technique updates TCP, adding intelligence that makes the throttling of traffic more efficient. The result: accelerated transfer speeds of up to 30x faster than standard TCP – from a centralized solution requiring no technology at the endpoints.

By increasing transfer speeds without requiring additional bandwidth or POPs around the world, FastTCP makes the Internet highly cost-effective for delivering video and other digital content on demand, anywhere in the world. No technology is required on the receiving side whatsoever, nor is any tweaking of content, servers or applications needed where content resides.

FastTCP is the only centralized, single-sided acceleration approach that speeds content across the first and last mile as well as through the cloud.

This groundbreaking technology has been used to set world records at the Supercomputing Bandwidth Challenge for the past four years. In 2005, FastTCP achieved a sustained throughput of 101 Gbps, fast enough to transmit the entire contents of the Library of Congress in 15 minutes.
