BIC-TCP 6,000 Times Quicker Than DSL

Posted by timothy on from the free-dinner-at-red-lobster dept.

An anonymous reader writes "North Carolina researchers have developed an Internet protocol, subsequently tested and affirmed by Stanford, that hums along at speeds roughly 6,000 times that of DSL. The system, called BIC-TCP, beat out competing protocols from Caltech, University College London and others. The results were announced at IEEE's annual communications confab in Hong Kong."

    The F/OSS should consider this a failure on their part for not developing the new protocol before these researchers did.
