2. Understanding the Speed problem?
Every network suffers from latency
Latency, a synonym for delay, is an expression of how much time it takes for a packet of data to get from one designated point to another.
Network latency is measured by sending a packet and receiving an acknowledgement. This round-trip time (RTT) is the “latency”.
Data Packet
Source File
Destination File
FTP is a very serial process. Each packet of
data must be received before a new packet is sent = Decreased Transfer Speed
Acknowledgments
Source File
Destination File
FileCatalyst completely saturates the pipe by
Sending multiple blocks of data = Increased Transfer Speed
Acknowledgments
Visualize the flow of packets like water running through a hose. With FTP, there is a kink in the hose restricting the water’s flow. With FileCatalyst, the kink is removed and water can rush through unrestricted.
