| Throughput is a performance criterion which is used to evaluate network products. Throughput Optimizer technology is designed to provide the optimal throughput in all AXIMCom solutions. |
|  | | | | | The peer will send data once it receives ACK | | | | | | | | | No Throughput Optimization:
When upload is fully occupied, ACK is delayed Download stops until the peer receives ACK | TCP/IP Assumption about Throughput
| | TCP/IP is designed based on the strong assumption that upload and download speeds are the same (symmetric). Due to this assumption, when the upload bandwidth is fully occupied, download bandwidth is usually limited to the same throughput level. For example, the download-to-upload ratio of an 8M/640Kbps ADSL line is 12-to-1. | | Then based on TCP/IP assumptions and limitations, when upload throughput (640Kbps) is fully used, download throughput will be limited to 640Kbps as well. In this situation, 92% of download bandwidth is sitting idle. | | | | | | What Throughput Optimizer Achieves | | | AXIMCom’s Throughput Optimizer technology overcomes the above TCP/IP limitation and optimizes the download throughput according to the users’ broadband subscription. In the above scenario and environment of 8M/640Kbps, users can enjoy the entire 8M download bandwidth even when the upload bandwidth is fully occupied. Therefore, with AXIMCom's Throughput Optimizer technology, there will be no more wastage of the bandwidth purchased! | | | | | |
