InterProphet fulfils the Internet’s promise with the essential core technology:
global data transport.
It does this with Silicon TCP.
What is Silicon TCPTM?
InterProphet's Silicon TCPTM technology is an enhancement to existing
Internet software technology. It removes the performance
limiting bottlenecks inside the software. Instead of
forcing the processor to "move bits", it allows
the bits to be moved by hardware under the advice of the
software. Silicon TCPTM
implements
industry-standard protocols via dataflow techniques that
generate and receive datagrams entirely without processor
instructions of any kind, with the absolute minimum
delay. Since the packets are constructed or decoded in
lock step with physical layer signalling, one benefit of
the technology is that the transport layer performance
improves as the physical and link layers improve. Another
benefit is that the hardware is significantly less
expensive than a microprocessor to use and/or maintain,
so high-speed TCP can now be used in places once
considered too expensive or demanding of performance.
Silicon TCPTM is a
fundamentally new way of implementing industry standard
protocols. Instead of constructing packets in a
store/forward memory buffer, Silicon TCPTM constructs packets "on the wire"
as they are transmitted without any memory buffer
(retransmission is accomplished by simply reconstructing
the packet from scratch). As a result, the hardware
generates in parallel physical, link, network, and
transport layer functions to accomplish the send and
receive of Internet packets
