Abstract
A method and apparatus that improves the performance of TCP (and other protocols) in a data network by implementing segmenting the TCP path and implementing a proprietary protocol (DPR™) over the network. The DPR™ protocol provides a multiplexed tunnel for a multiplicity of TCP sessions from a client to a cloud proxy. DPR™ implements congestion management, flow control, reliability, and link monitoring. Other network protocols (such as UDP) are supported with a reliability protocol based upon network coding that improves the transmission reliability. A network and a method for transmitting processes in a network are disclosed, using deterministic coefficients for encoding packets based on network coding principles. Disclosed is a method and implementation for using deterministic coefficients for encoding packets based on network coding principles. The use of deterministic coefficients reduces the need for extra information to be transmitted to recover the lost packets and results in significantly reduced overhead and increased performance, security and reliability.
