Abstract

This WIP proposes a new architecture for applications that perform bulk data transfers. This architecture, called DOT (for data-oriented transfer), cleanly separates out two functions that are comingled in today's applications. Using DOT, applications perform content negotiation to determine what content to send. They then pass that data object to the transfer service to perform the actual data transmission. This separation increases application flexibility, enables the rapid development of innovative transfer mechanisms, reduces developer effort, and allows increased efficiency through cross-application sharing.

Performance Optimization of MTP Stack
UCMA '11: Proceedings of the 2011 International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing and Multimedia Applications

The paper deals with the steps proposed for performance optimization of PC to device file transfer. From the Key Performance Index (KPI) testing its seen that PC to device file transfer takes more time than Device to PC whose performance is good at the ...
A file transfer protocol and implementation

This paper presents a file transfer service in a heterogeneous computer network (HMINET). The basic architecture models are presented, the file transfer protocol is described and the implementation in the HMINET is shown with the functional capabilities ...
A high performance broadcast file transfer protocol
SIGCOMM '88: Symposium proceedings on Communications architectures and protocols

This paper describes a broadcast bulk file transfer protocol and presents its performance characteristics. The protocol is for bulk file distribution over a single satellite channel. The transmitting site and multiple receiver sites share channel access ...
