Using FASP

IBM Aspera High-Speed Add-on for Connect:Direct® for UNIX uses FASP (Fast and Secure Protocol) network transport to transfer files over high bandwidth and high latency network connections.

At low latency it performs similarly to TCP/IP. However, as latency and packet loss increase, unlike TCP/IP, its performance does not degrade, and FASP continues to take advantage of all the available bandwidth.

IBM Aspera High-Speed Add-on for Connect:Direct for UNIX (V4.2.0.4 or later) supports interoperability with Connect:Direct for Microsoft Windows (V.4.7.0.4 or later) and Secure Proxy (V3.4.3.0 or later).
