SuperTCP

SuperTCP is a better algorithm for TCP. TCP is the protocol that rules the internet. Any internet traffic (besides most real-time or “streaming” traffic) uses TCP to send data back and forth from your computer to the server you’re talking to. Unfortunately, TCP was developed over 30 years ago and hasn’t kept pace with the incredible changes the internet has gone through. The internet now has connections with huge amounts of bandwidth over massive geographical distances. This results in high bandwidth, high latency connections which TCP is notoriously bad at using effectively. SuperTCP tries to do better. No matter what the latency, jitter or random packet loss your connection is encountering, SuperTCP can use up to 99% of the available network bandwidth.

Effectively, this means that whether you’re sending a file across the room or across the globe, your only limit is how much bandwidth is available to your application. This can result in up to 4x faster data transfers when using SuperTCP versus classic TCP, which means you can back up 100Gb of your precious data in 15 minutes instead of 2.5 hours, or upload a YouTube video in 5 minutes instead of 50. No change to your workflow. No new software: just a better internet for everyone.
