Data Transfer
DART® is a reliable data transport protocol up to 1500x faster than TCP that provides lossless transport of files over a variety of networks. Today, DART operates mission-critical networks that span land, air, sea, and space.

The Problem
Nearly every file uploaded to the internet still crawls through TCP, a 50-year-old protocol that treats 4K video the exact same way it treats email packets.
TCP's reliability scheme limits its throughput inversely with network delay and packet loss. When network loss is detected, TCP reduces its congestion window exponentially. This aggressive back off and slow ramp up limit the TCP window size, severely limiting its long-term throughput and bandwidth utilization. On lossy cellular or satellite networks, this can limit throughput to well under 1% of the network capacity.
In addition to this throughput limitation, traditional file transfer protocols fail to provide the security and predictability required by business-critical data transfers. Uploads, downloads, and transfers must be fully resumable and protected from interception.
Introducing DART
DART (Dynamic Accelerated Record Transfer) is a file transport protocol that maintains near-constant efficiency regardless of network conditions. Over a 100Mbps connection, DART reliably holds ~98Mbps regardless of packet loss, latency, jitter, or erratic bandwidth conditions. That means a file transfer will take the same time regardless of whether it's going to another country or continent.
Built by a team from CERN, DART is a proprietary UDP-based protocol that implements reliability at the application layer. Its cutting edge features include intelligent congestion control, selective retransmission, and dynamic forward error correction. Further technical details and benchmarks are available upon request.
In the field, DART has achieved speeds up to 1500 times faster than TCP transfers.
The Content Ingestion Network
Byteport's unmatched speed isn't its only feature.
Cloudflare built the CDN to distribute content to users across the globe. Byteport has built the missing inverse: a globally distributed content ingestion network (CIN) capable of pulling content in from anywhere on the internet. Powered by DART, Byteport's CIN is fully compatible with every major cloud storage provider and every device that has the Byteport CLI, SDK, or desktop application.
Conclusion
If your company is working at all in the cloud, robotics, drones, or space, Byteport can 10x your data transfer.
