Method and apparatus for achieving a high transfer rate with TCP protocols by using parallel transfers

摘要

The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for communicating data across the Internet. Data is first segmented into mutually exclusive groups of information. The data is segmented into mutually exclusive groups by using operating system utilities. Each of the mutually exclusive groups is then communicated in parallel across the Internet. The mutually exclusive groups are communicated in parallel across the internet by spawning processes that each utilize TCP/IP utilities.
