BlazeBand

BlazeBand: "Blazeband provides an alternative which overcomes these limitations of TCP. Blazeband utilizes UDP for bulk packet delivery. UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is the standard mechanism for delivering packet-based data over IP networks. UDP does not provide mechanisms for bandwidth control or reliability, but UDP packets can be sent very quickly. Blazeband protocols provide bandwidth and congestion control through UDP messages, using intelligent algorithms which distinguish congestion losses from other types of packet losses. These algorithms prevent Blazeband bandwidth utilization from dropping off in the presence of occasional packet loss.

Blazeband achieves reliability through the use of KenCast's (patented, other patents pending) Fazzt Forward Error Correction (Fazzt FEC®) technology, Validation algorithm, and Missed Packet Collector algorithms."
