FastTCP Commercialized Into An FTP Appliance 156
prostoalex writes "FastTCP technology, developed by researchers at CalTech, is being commercialized. A company called FastSoft has introduced a hardware appliance that delivers 15x-20x faster FTP transmissions than those delivered via regular TCP. Says eWeek: 'The algorithm implemented in the Aria appliance senses congestion by continuously measuring the round-trip time for the TCP acknowledgment and then monitoring how that measurement changes from moment to moment.'"

Al Gore never claimed to invent the Internet. That's just a Republican spin on relatively accurate statements that Gore Made. What Al Gore invented is Algorithms. That's why they are called that!
