5. 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)

6. 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

7. 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

9. 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
