On: Increase your file transfer speeds by up to 4x

[chias]

For a marketing page, it should really keep the numbers consistent. If SuperTCP can give me a speedup of "up to 4x", then 2.5 hours does not become 15 minutes and 50 minutes does not become 5 minutes. That is a speedup of "up to 10x".

Basic math issues and vague description of the technique make me worry about the technical veracity of the described approach.

I am also worried about fairness: do SuperTCP streams muscle out other streams? Is that how they grab all the bandwidth?

TCP has back-off built-in for a reason: if everyone is as greedy as possible, massive congestion occurs.

Thanks for noticing! We need to clean up that material!

Also, please describe the technical details better---maybe eventually having a whitepaper showing some performance graphs with different workloads?

Criticizing you from a pulpit is easy, kudos to you if you fix things up over time :-)

Yes, we're definitely working on white papers, use case studies and other things that help explain exactly what we're doing to a more technical audience. Thanks!
