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." Update: 03/16 04:46 GMT by T : ScienceBlog suggests this alternate link while their site is down.

    heh - from his profile "From 2000 to 2002, Injong was on leave from his university position to found Togabi Technologies, INC, a startup company that specializes in developing and marketing multimedia applications and services for wireless Internet. He served as CTO/CEO of the company before returning to his academic position in 2003."

    Maybe he got sacked as the CTO that didn't manage to make the TCP/IP stack in their chat application work.... ;-)
