Method and apparatus of performing remote computer file exchange

摘要

Disclosed are an apparatus and method of exchanging data between a first computing device and a second computing device using a customized data transfer protocol. One example of operation may include establishing a control channel between the first computing device and the second computing device to exchange control information, negotiating a data transfer between the first and second computing devices, establishing a data channel between the first and second computing devices to transfer data, and transferring data from the first computing device to the second computing device over the data channel in parallel with control information being transferred over the control channel. The client devices may be a client and server configuration transferring data via a point-to-point data connection.

1. A method of exchanging data between a first computing device and a second computing device, the method comprising:
establishing a control channel between the first computing device and the second computing device to exchange control information comprising streaming data initiation information regarding when streaming data should initiate, and streaming data termination information regarding when the streaming data should terminate, and wherein the control information further comprises at least one of a proposed data rate and a proposed data compression level to be used during the data exchange between the first computing device and the second computing device; negotiating a data transfer between the first and second computing devices; establishing a data channel between the first and second computing devices to transfer data; and transferring data from the first computing device to the second computing device over the data channel in parallel with the control information being transferred over the control channel.
