FTP / 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)

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

Data Packet
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

Bandwidth Improvement with FileCatalyst
Accelerating File Transfers

FileCatalyst Protocol 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• Features that reduce amount of data transferred
(Compression and Incremental (RSYNC) )• Security, reliability, automatic resume• Automation tools, SDK, central management
