CNLink Fast Hosting

CNLink Networks is offering a new accelerated co-location service in which customers may enhance their download speeds if they co-locate in our Los Angeles facility. This is accomplished through our new FastSoft unit developed by Aria that utilizes new technology that accelerates TCP packets.

Product Explanation

FastSoft’s Aria platform is a hardware device that sits between a TCP data source and the ultimate data destination, as shown in diagram below. By being placed close to the source, a very low delay, low loss path can be established from the server to the Aria device, allowing very fast packet transport to occur. The Aria device then relays those packets to destination devices, using a set of carefully designed algorithms intended to optimally fill every packet buffer along the data path. Also, the round-trip delay for every packet is measured and tracked, so that this information can be used as part of the calculations to determine the optimal bit-rate. 

One key to understanding the FastSoft technology is to look at the behavior of the algorithm that is used in place of AIMD, described above. Rather than using slow rate increases and rapid rate decreases, the Aria adjusts the bit-rate intelligently—using larger adjustments when the rate is far away from the calculated desired rate and smaller adjustments when the rate is close to the target. This allows the system to adapt more quickly to network changes, and to avoid the repeated cycle of overflowing the data circuit.

Cost

The cost of the new service is based on bandwidth usage or a scale of (mbps) per megabit per second. Please contact CNLink Networks for more information at info@us.cnlink.net or 626-535-0888.
