[NCLUG] "increase throughput of yer broadband 'net connection - windows users need not apply"

[bill ehlert]

"Internet on Steroids 

"The fastest hardware in the world will not do
you much good if your software can't take
advantage of it. The same principle applies to
the Internet. Researchers from the California
Institute of Technology recently demonstrated
this with a zippy new protocol that can squeeze
more horsepower out of high-speed Internet
connections—up to 6,000 times more horsepower.

    . . .

"Oh, and there's one more catch: Pokey Windows
servers need not apply. For now, FAST runs only
on Linux."
