BitTorrent learns to "get out of the way", giving the channel for other purposes
Today, Vesti24 was told that BitTorrent CEO Eric Klinker, the developer company of uTorrent, a popular file-sharing client, made life easier for Internet providers, stating that their new Micro Transport Protocol (uTP) client protocol will not load channels and cause jams in the network. . He made such a statement at the Broadband World Forum in France.
Unlike standard TCP, which is widely used in web browsers or online gaming, uTP offers a more reliable and fast packet delivery scheme. Clinker explained that the new BitTorrent technology detects network congestion earlier than TCP, and automatically slows down - that is, “leaves the road”, giving the channel for other purposes.
Reducing the load on the network will help Internet providers to avoid additional costs for its support, writes CNET. Full uTP support has appeared in uTorrent since version 2.0.
The head of BitTorrent also noted that more and more “heavy” files will get into the Network. “The Internet will continue to evolve, continue to evolve as a multimedia network. This means a much larger file transfer, ”he said.
