The new proprietary tech is based on the user datagram protocol (UDP) employed for streaming media. As such, it can distinguish between dropped packets and those which haven’t yet reached their destination, thereby removing the need for unnecessary data retransmission, the firm said.
Also included is control tech designed to ensure UDP transmissions don’t hog too much bandwidth by measuring in real-time how much bandwidth is available and ensuring other TCP comms are not overwhelmed.
The new protocol comes as a software add-on to UDP – taking advantage of the high speeds it enables while avoiding problems of packet loss and packets traveling in the wrong direction which often hamper UDP communications, Fujitsu said.
