Speed is one of the most important attribute of the transmission channels. Currently used Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is good enough in its job, but it also has few issues like congestion, data loss etc resulting in performance drop of transmission channel. Researchers at Fujitsu Laboratories have developed a new data transfer protocol that can overcome these issues and can speed up the data transfer up to 30 times.
The new protocol uses a software only approach. The method is based on User Datagram Protocol (UDP) instead of TCP, that helps to reduce latency in streaming media. It also has a control technology that is used to control the excess bandwidth use by UDP by performing a real time measurement of network bandwidth. The new technology will be able to speed up the existing TCP application without modifying them. The best part here is that you don't need any specialized hardware to use this technology, it works through a simple software installation.

Under testing conditions, the new protocol was able to transfer data 30 times faster between Japan and US. Moreover, it reduces the virtual desktop latency to less than 1/6 of the previous level. Fujitsu plans to commercialize the new technology in 2013, so that communication speed can be improved without modifying existing TCP applications.
