Uma notícia interessante na New Scientist: uma equipa de investigadores do California Institute of Technology desenvoleu um novo protocolo para a Internet, cha,ado "Fast TCP", que consegue melhorar significativamente os índices de transmissão de dados. "The protocol, an update of the Internet's Transmission Control Protocol that regulates how Internet data is broken up into pieces and reassembled when transmitted over a network, uses software to spot situations where data is being delayed during transmission. This allows the protocol to identify the ideal speeds for transmitting data without getting lost. In experiments conducted by the University and the Swiss Internet lab CERN, researchers were able to send data from California to Switzerland at over 900 megabits per second, compared to only 266 megabits per second when using the old TCP protocol over the same transmission line. When researchers bundled 10 Fast TCP systems together they were able to acheive transmission rates of 8.6 gigabits per second -- more than 6000 times the capacity of typical consumer broadband. Such speeds could eventually hold promise to consumers downloading entire movies in about five seconds".
