Three researchers at North Carolina State University have created a new software that promises to speed up the Internet like never before.
A task that takes 10 minutes to download with a DSL modem can be download in two to four seconds with BIC-TCP, or Binary Increase Congestion Transmission Control Protocol.
Dr. Injong Rhee and two colleagues at N.C. State created the technology that is being hailed as breakthrough Internet protocol.
"We need a new protocol that can utilize this humongous information, so we can send faster data as required by big companies and researchers around the world," Rhee said.
In a nutshell, the software can send out massive amounts of files to numerous locations across the globe in a fraction of the time as current systems. Rhee said BIC can operate at speeds approaching 10 gigabits per second, which is roughly 6,000 times that of DSL and 150,000 times that of current modems.
