The Symmetrically Distributed Server Network -- SDSN

The Symmetrically Distributed Server Network SDSN SYSTEM

If companies in Korea, Japan and other countires where Internet networking is less developed than in the West, we can resolve the problem ourselves. By placing servers on several of the major backbones, we can route traffic between the servers using ECIP (Error Correcting Internet Protocol) instead of TCP/IP, typical retransmission problems are avoided. With transmission of video, one watches a series of frames. If one frame is lost, there is no reason to see it later. We would rather have the packet die and go on with the show. This type of Internet Protocol is called UDP, and it allows for lost packets not to be retransmitted. UDP also causes stalls in streaming video. When too many packets are lost, the pipe is broken, and the connection in lost. ECIP uses error correcting algoritms to solve this problem by estimating data loss, and then sending enough redundant packets that the client viewer will receive enough traffic to keep the connection. The SDSN system also determines which node on the system will best serve each individual connection. Each individual user will have a different server and a different route to furnish their Internet traffic. SDSN automatically makes these choices for the viewers, which maximizes the quality of their Internet connection. IBM announced a similar system, the WOMPLEX system, centered around the WOMBEAST centralized system, which tried to accomplish the SDSN goals with massive central computing. Centralized serving created more bottlenecks, inefficiency and packet loss. By distributing the load and using smart packet switching concepts, less than 7 PC's would provide better service in Korea than the IBM WomBeast mainframe. IBS plans to add S-PAK to the SDSN system, which already featues the patented Race Program. The client's browser automatically attempts to download a gif from each of the distributed servers. The assumption is made that the first gif to download entirely comes from the best connection, and the individual user is connected to that machine. There are 13 other technologies that are being integrated into the network of SDSN PC's.
