EFFECTIVE PROTOCOL FOR HIGH-RATE, LONG-LATENCY, ASYMMETRIC, AND BIT-ERROR PRONE DATA LINKS

摘要

A system (10) for efficiently and reliably communicating over a high-speed asymmetric communications link. A first mechanism for connecting a first device to a second device via a channel. Includes Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) functionality on the first device and the second device for establishing a first TCP/IP link from the second device to the first device. Universal Datagram Protocol (UDP) functionality on the first device and the second device for transferring UDP packets from the first device to the second device.
