"There are a few open protocols in various stages of development"
Can you, or somebody else please name some? It always irks me a little when someone just mentions that "these projects" exist, and then fail to mention any of them.
- EvanAnderson 14y agoWe had a discussion about this over on Server Fault (http://serverfault.com/q/111813/7200 http://serverfault.com/q/111813/7200) and UFTP (http://www.tcnj.edu/~bush/uftp.html http://www.tcnj.edu/~bush/uftp.html), UDT (http://udt.sourceforge.net/ http://udt.sourceforge.net/), and Tsunami-UDP (http://tsunami-udp.sourceforge.net/ http://tsunami-udp.sourceforge.net/) all came up as viable open source offerings (along with FileCatalyst and Aspera in the commercial space).
- Terretta 14y agoNo need to over engineer... We offer a custom protocol file transfer as a service (uses UDP instead of TCP), but you can do a home grown solution yourself very easily. If you have a big file of compressed content (video), do the following. If you have a lot of small files, tar and gzip them, then do the following. md5 your file split your file into chunks (eg parts _a - _z, or _aa - _zz) use ncftp or similar capable of parallel transfers optimize between 8 and 30 parallel depending on latency to saturate link concat the file at the other end check the md5 You can handily saturate a link from EU to Australia or India to US this way. That said, for Aussie customers sending us 1000s of movies, we FedEx or DHL pelican cases full of drives.
