Data transfer has played an important role for enterprises to conduct business with its customers, partners and suppliers while acting as its foundation in mining data value. However, the emergence of the Big Data era has spawned a massive amount of data, while various data types and interactive scenarios have become increasingly complex, the efficiency and security of data transfer is also facing its challenges. If enterprises desire to continue extract value and create opportunities, the foremost priority is to tackle data transfer. Challenges: Large File Transfer ● While the amount of data has skyrocketed, the transfer efficiency is still poor; ● Data types are diverse and traditional transferring methods are difficult to guarantee its integrity; ● Network environment is complex while the cases of data loss and leakage are increasing; ● Cross-regional and long-distance teamwork has increased, but high latency and high packet loss rate have also become prominent. The key to solving the challenges above is to find a first-class data transfer engine. This would eminently support enterprises to build a high-speed, secure, and stable environment for data transfer, which brings an edge to lead in a data-driven development. The Great TCP Bottleneck Transfer protocol is the foundation beneath every data transfer, in which TCP is the most commonly used IP transport layer protocol. Compared to other protocols, TCP is able to provide a more reliable service for establishing connections between specific network systems and applications. Originally developed in the early 1970s when networks were still local and data files were small, TCP served as the basic protocol which enabled data to move efficiently and reliably within the local area network with very small bandwidth. To maintain this reliability, TCP ensures that the application data transmitted in a single TCP connection arrives at the receiver’s application in the same sequence as when it was sent. Therefore, TCP uses an algorithm to establish the connection between the sender and receiver, creating transfer requests in turn, and splitting the data into packets, which are then sent separately through the network without the need for acknowledgement until reaching its definition limit. . The sliding window protocol is used by TCP to define the data buffer. Figure 1 below is a simplified diagram that demonstrates how TCP sends out small packets over the network and how TCP windowing controls how much data can be transmitted without acknowledgement. As the packets are delayed, TCP will then slow down the transfer rate with a smaller window size, which further limits the number of unacknowledged packets allowed. TCP algorithm is proved to be effective when data transfer occurs over a short distance while the network is not congested. However, when the round trip time of packet transfer is inevitably increased by distance, both the performance and efficiency shall be affected. Especially under the scenarios of long-distance, transnational transfer, the transfer of large files and massive small files will expose the drawbacks of TCP protocol: ● Low transfer efficiency, end-to-end transfer requires sequence acknowledgement, the data processing is slow; ● Increase of data loss rate and latency when large files are transmitted; ● Extreme congestion control throttling which results in unnatural throughput loss; ● TCP cannot guarantee its reliability, its file check mechanism is imperfect. In essence, TCP cannot be defined as a reliable transfer in the true sense of the word. Especially under the pressure of data volume and distant transfer, TCP is unable to guarantee the efficiency of transfer and yet it may expose enterprises to data security threats. Raysync – A Brand New Transfer Protocol Raysync’s high-speed transfer protocol is a core transfer technology developed by Shenzhen Yunyu Technology Co., Ltd. based on the UDP transfer protocol. This breakthrough technology does not simply optimize or accelerate data transfer but it takes a leap forward in the transfer technology to completely eliminate the underlying bottleneck while overcoming the limitations of traditional network and hardware. Raysync is able to fully make use of network bandwidth thus provides an ultra-low latency, high speed and end-to-end output service. The transmission rate can be increased by nearly 100 times, achieving over 96% of bandwidth utilization rate while easily adhering to the security, controllability and stability requirements for TB-level large files and massive small files transfer. Transport Layer: A Black Tech that Overthrows the TCP Protocol The TCP transfer protocol does provide a reliable data transfer under ideal conditions, but with its fixed throughput bottleneck, a prominent and serious condition would occur due to high packet loss and latency caused by a long-distance network transfer. Raysync guarantees reliability in the application layer with an innovative method that eliminates drawbacks such as low efficiency in TCP, packet loss, processing errors and unstable transfer rate. To ensure 100% reliability, Raysync adopts the best mechanism that accurately identifies and passes on the actual packet loss condition on the transfer channel. Application Layer: Best Alternative to FTP The FTP transfer protocol has been used for more than 40 years, but it is also a fact that the efficiency of FTP file transfer has been far less than the growth rate of data in the face of today's complex file exchange requirements. FTP is even worse in the file management tasks that enterprises urgently need today. In order to transfer files while maintaining security through FTP, this requires complex scripts, continuous maintenance, and even other applications to assist.

Introduction A peer-to-peer connection in telecommunications relates to a communication between two terminals or nodes. Peer-to-peer is shortened to P2P sometimes. In sharing platforms or in other data-sharing protocols between people, this use of P2P is separate from the use of P2P which means peer-to-peer. For instance, a telephone call when one phone is connected to another, and only the others could hear what one caller says. In contrast, this is a topology for point-to-multipoint or broadcast communication, where several nodes can receive information from a node. Additional instances of peer-to-peer links include leased lines, microwave relays, and two-way radio. For example, radio and television broadcasts are points-to-multiple. Have you used P2P? P2P transfer is now widely used to share files by many enterprises in their work after LAN, FTP, and HTTP are outdated. P2P transfer, known as peer-to-peer transfer, is an instant file transfer mode, which aimed to enable all clients to provide resources, including bandwidth, storage space, and computing capacity. P2P transfer technology has wide application scenarios, such as audio, video, and data sharing in various formats. How does P2P technology transfer files instantly? Why P2P transfer is accepted widely by many enterprises? In this article, let’s start with these two questions and explore the answers to peer-to-peer transfer. Everything about P2P Transfer in One Picture With the growing number of IP cores combined on one chip, the system-on-chip architecture is able to deploy complicated applications. The enormous need for communication and the ample computing capability on the chip put a considerable burden on the architecture in communication. Scalable communication architectures are therefore needed to implement future systems efficiently. Two types of communication systems, namely peer-to-peer and bus-based designs have traditionally been explored. At the expense of the specific channels between all communicating IP pairs, P2P communication designs can provide the most communication performance. However, in terms of high complexity, expense, and design effort these designs are poorly scalable. By contrast, bus systems can connect a few dozen IP cores economically and eliminate the complexity of the system and the specific cables required by P2P systems. The traditional HTTP transfer is to copy data to the client via server, thus the transfer speed is restricted by the bandwidth. Especially in today's network environment, the large amount of clients connects to one server, the bandwidth of servers will be shared, and the bandwidth of clients is difficult to be fully utilized, resulting in low efficiency of overall data transfer. In general data transfer, client A and client B is essential to build a connection to the server, and then data will be transfer through the channel built by the server and data recipient. P2P transfer technology builds the direct channel between client A and client B, shorten the original upload-download "1+1" time to 1; Secondly, "client A-server-client b" is turned to "client A-client b", which does not transit through the server and does not consume the expensive storage space of the server. Figure 1. P2P Transfer in One Picture Cons & Pros of P2P Transfer P2P technology is popular in many industries such as film and media, Internet TV, telemedicine, it not only provides freedom and facility to data transfer but also integrates all potential Internet resources. In technical expert’s opinion, P2P transfer is a kind of instant technology for quick data moving and sharing, it is beneficial to creating opportunities for enterprises in today’s market environment driven by data. However, with 5G emerging and the continuous development of information technology, P2P transfer is undoubtedly a double-blade sword, so it’s difficult for enterprises to step forward. Pros: Low cost: save the cost on the server. Efficiency improved: remove the intermediate procedures and establish simple connections. High stability: eliminate the server-centered single-point service in the past, form the decentralized P2P transfer organization, which solved the fault problem caused by the central single point. Cons: Network bandwidth resources are consumed in large quantities: The concurrent connection of P2P transfer makes the resources consumed in large quantities, it is easy to cause network congestion and reduce the performance of other applications. Inconvenient management: The P2P transfer is decentralized, the amount of users is huge thus it’s hard to take care of all users. Security risks of data leakage: The widely use of P2P transfer leads to someone use the loopholes in the system to invade user privacy and destroy data. Some criminals even add viruses in the P2P transfer process, which poses a threat to users' computer security. The P2P transfer technology is not strong enough to satisfy enterprises’ various needs, therefore, there must be a breakthrough. According to whether the clients are in the same network environment, the difficulty degree of P2P transfer technology is different. What modern technologies can be used to optimize and how to optimize? Let's continue to explore the principle of P2P technology and try to find a breakthrough. P2P technology upgrading Based on NAT+Raysync The transmission protocol of Raysync has abandoned the use of transmission messages as both byte counts and TCP protocol. With its revolutionary UDP transmission method, Raysync overcomes faults in existing TCP-based file transfer protocols . The transmission speed of FTP/HTTP is hundreds of times higher and is not reduced by the size of the file, transmit distance, or network difficulties. Raysync can offer secure internal and external sharing of data, enabling you to securely upload, download and edit files on a user-friendly interface. Send huge files via mobile devices and web browsers in every location and anywhere. Characteristics Raysync transmission protocol may make full use of a broad network of bandwidths for the fastest transfer of data. It can enable users in the huge data distribution application scenario to finish the big data transfer in the least time. The multi-channel parallel transmission feature of the link is supported by RaySync Transmission Protocol. When a client interfaces between point B and point A, a multiplicity of unrelated data streams can quickly be transferred in Parallel via the multi-parallel channel property. The transfer of these data streams does not require the handshake connection process, which considerably enhances the transmission in real-time. Raysync transmission protocol is UDP-based and may transit over various NAT devices smoothly. Here we divided into two situations for analysis: On the same network Assume that the internal network interface is 1000M, the LAN bandwidth is 10M, and the bandwidth utilization rate is 50%. Client A and Client B are in the same network environment, as shown in the following figure. If the traditional file transfer method is adopted, the A user needs to upload the file to the server first, and then B can download it from the server, there only 10M network bandwidth will be utilized in the whole transfer process. While through peer-to-point transfer, A and B can directly establish a connection, file transfer makes full use of the network bandwidth of 1000M, and the transfer efficiency can be improved by 100X. Figure 2. P2P technology on the same network Raysync combined the P2P technology with Raysync ultra-high-speed transfer protocol, the network bandwidth is fully utilized up to 96%. The file transfer process is accelerated, the TB-level big data and massive data transfer have never been easier. Figure 3. P2P technology upgrading Based on NAT+Raysync On the different network Client A and client B are in two different network environments, and they need to try to connect with the target end to judge whether they can penetrate the network to establish communication. The P2P transfer between two clients will be different according to different clients. Several common P2P transfer methods through middleware include Relaying, Connection reversal, UDP hole punching. Through the following characteristic comparison table, we can simply grasp the characteristics and application scenarios of these methods. Table 1. Characteristics and compassion table According to the methods listed above, Raysync P2P transfer will try to connect with the recipient end in priority. If it is failed to connect, it will be connected by reverse connection or UDP punching. If it is still failed to connect, then the server transfers will be adopted. Raysync will automatically select the best transfer mode in the whole process, reduce the network burden and make full use of network resources. Besides, the P2P transfer based on UDP needs to consider the type of NAT, because the penetration ways of different NAT combinations are not consistent, some can penetrate, while some cannot. Figure 4. P2P technology on the different networks Digging deep into NAT penetration technology, Raysync combines more than 10 NAT penetration technologies with Raysyncb ultra-high-speed transfer protocol and simultaneously applies on P2P transfer. In practical application, the penetration effect of these 10 NAT combinations can meet the current P2P transfer needs. Even in the face of a few impenetrable situations, Raysync may still be able to improve the transfer efficiency and find the optimal solution for P2P transfer. A More Universal P2P Transfer through Innovation on Speed and Management Transfer acceleration ensures efficiency improving In the peer-to-peer transfer, the patented Raysync ultra-high-speed transfer protocol is adopted. This protocol can eliminate the bottleneck at the bottom layer, it is immune to limitation of the traditional network and hardware, fully utilize the network bandwidth, and realize ultra-low latency, high speed, and end-to-end output service, the transfer rate is improved by nearly one hundred times, thus easily achieves the safe, controllable and stable transfer of TB-level large files and massive small files. Figure 5. P2P technology on the different networks about penetration and acceleration Comparison of the peer-to-peer transfer efficiency Test environment: Shenzhen-Beijing, network latency 35ms~45ms, packet loss rate 1% Server: Alibaba cloud Shenzhen, CentOS 8.3, 2 vCPU 4 GiB, bandwidth 100M, SSD disk ClientA: Alibaba cloud Shenzhen, CentOS 8.3, 2 vCPU 4 GiB, bandwidth 100M, SSD disk ClientB: Alibaba cloud Beijing, CentOS 8.3, 2 vCPU 4 GiB, bandwidth 100M, SSD disk File transfer is automatic For team collaboration, Raysync supports automatically receive peer-to-peer files from your partners. Compared to the traditional P2P transfer method, Raysync saves your time spend on manually file reception. The auto file reception can be realized with one click to enable the “Allow to receive transfer files from partners” button. A data asset is strictly monitored The admin user can monitor every single task in the admin console. Enter Raysync admin console – peer-to-peer transfer, you could view the peer-to-peer transfer account, IP, task name, receiver ID, country, states, city, total file transmission quantity, and transmission speed. In the meantime, it supports viewing the details of the peer-to-peer transfer task being transmitted and stopping the operation, and supports one-click viewing and downloading for historical transfer tasks. All files and individuals traceable, each P2P task can be controlled by the admin. The comprehensive upgrade made by Raysync on P2P transfer overcomes the drawbacks of file and user management, enables peer-to-peer transfer to better meet the enterprise needs, and helps enterprises manage data more efficiently. Bank-level data security Based on the needs of customers in industries such as film and media, IT Internet, Raysync adopts AES-256+TLS encryption technology between client and server to guarantee end-to-end data security. Aiming at the port problem, Raysync only needs to expose one port, which can meet all users' access needs and greatly reduce the risk of firewall port exposure; Hash verification protection is carried out at the transfer message level, file block, and the whole file to ensure the integrity of the transfer content. The optimization made by Raysync on peer-to-peer transfer, which has outstanding performance in performance, reliability, and security. The upgraded management design meets the needs of modern enterprises. As a one-stop solution provider for large file transfer, Raysync can be used as a tool for enterprises to realize fast file cooperation, and can also be used as an enterprise data management platform to provide data transfer services for industries such as film and media, finance, IT Internet, etc.

File Transfer Protocol Server is a computer that provides file storage and access services on the Internet. They provide services in accordance with the FTP protocol. FTP, the file transfer protocol is a set of standard protocols for file transfer on the network, using the client/server model. FTP is a protocol specifically used to transfer files. FTP is a client/server system. Users use a client that supports the File FTP Protocol connect to a server program on a remote host. The user issues a command on the client, and the remote host server executes the command issued by the user after receiving the command, and returns the execution result to the client. Simply put, the user sends a command to the server, asking the server to send a file to the user. The server responds and sends the file to the client. The user receives the file and places it in the user's working directory. This process is carried out by the FTP server. How Does FTP Server Work? FTP is based on the TCP protocol service, which is a file transfer protocol on the Internet. By default, two ports 20 and 21 are used, a data port and a command port, and port 20 is a data port for file transfer between the client and the server data flow. Port 21 is a command port used to transmit control flow and accept related FTP commands and parameters issued by the client. The FTP client sends a service request to the FTP server in the computer network. The FTP server receives and responds to the FTP client's request and provides the FTP client with the required file transfer service. According to the provisions of the TCP protocol, FTP servers use well-known port numbers 20 and 21 to provide services, and FTP clients use temporary port numbers to send requests. The FTP protocol specifies different well-known port numbers for control connections and data connections, the well-known port number for control connections is 21, and the well-known port number for data connections is 20. The FTP protocol uses a continuous connection communication method, and the maintenance time of the control connection it establishes is usually long. After explaining the main connection method of the working principle of FTP, then explain the two types of data connection establishment in the working principle of FTP: active mode and passive mode. The active mode of FTP is that the client connects to the well-known port of the FTP server from any unprivileged port, that is, port 21. After receiving the command, the FTP server connects to another temporary port of the client from the data port and returns data; passive mode means that the client opens two arbitrary non-privileged ports to submit commands, and the FTP server passively opens any non-privileged ports to send commands to the client. After the client receives the command, it initiates a connection to the FTP server from the local port to establish a transmission data channel. In this mode, the command connection and the data connection are initiated by the client to solve the problem of the server initiating the connection to the client. Generally speaking, if we take the server as the criterion. Active mode: The server initiates a connection to the client from port 20. Passive mode: The server passively waits for a client to initiate a connection on a port within a specified range. The realization goal of FTP is to realize the safe sharing of file data, that is, the computer client can connect to the FTP servers around the world through the FTP client and the Internet to achieve file data sharing and resource sharing. Realize information interaction, that is, other computer clients can access the FTP server built on your computer through the Internet, so that your information can be spread to all parts of the world. Carry out effective data transmission. Files can be exchanged between computers of different types, different systems, and different formats. Do you know the FTP server now?

The amount of data is growing explosively. Not only that, but the capacity of a single file is also increasing. These documents, audio, video, drawings, and other materials may be the carriers of important business data for enterprises, especially for film and television production, life science research. For data-intensive industries such as production and manufacturing, the high-speed and secure transfer and management of data is of paramount importance. Usually, we use email, GoogleDrive, FTP to transfer, but when the file is large, reaching the GB level, the file transfer of the above scheme becomes extremely slow, unreliable, or even inoperable. File transfer accelerator，Raysync is the first choice, the choice of 2W+ users in 1 year, the network bandwidth utilization rate is increased to 96%. Raysync file transfer protocol mainly improves the file transfer efficiency through the following two aspects: more effective congestion judgment and processing, and more accurate and timely packet loss judgment recovery mechanism. Reasons for companies not to change Raysync for several years: Raysync high-speed transfer protocol, network bandwidth utilization rate reaches 96%. Secure TLS+AES-256 encryption algorithm, plus multiple security codes, stable multiple file protection mechanisms for data, smooth global data flow and ease of use Web browser access, 30 seconds installation can use professional pure software acceleration, professional technical team service guidance.

In the Internet age, big data movement is an inevitable problem faced by enterprises. You can choose traditional FTP, network disk, and other methods to transmit, which may be advantageous for small files. But for large file data, transmission speed trouble may appear. The slowness and unreliable data greatly affect the work efficiency of enterprises. The transnational transfer is even worse. The traditional network transmission method is extremely slow and has a large packet loss rate. After the transfer is interrupted, it needs to be retransmitted. It is extremely unstable in terms of data reliability and transmission speed. The time cost of using the hard disk delivery method is too large, which is unacceptable for efficiency-conscious companies. Therefore, the birth of transferring software effectively solves the problem of large file transfer for many enterprises! The main advantages of large file transfer software are as follows: 1. The transmission data is reliable, and the transmitted data is multi-layered at the transfer level to ensure the consistency of the transfer data; 2. Support interrupted resumable transmission, even if the transfer process is interrupted, it can resume seamlessly; 3. In terms of transfer speed, even cross-border long-distance transmission can maximize the use of bandwidth and maximize the transmission speed. According to actual test results, the transmission speed of big data can be increased by more than 100 times, and the maximum speed of a single connection can support 1Gbps; 4. The multi-channel design of the transfer protocol can save the transmission delay caused by the TCP three-way handshake to establish a connection when the user transmits data, and the real-time performance can be increased by up to 1 times; 5. The transfer performance is proportional to the bandwidth and has nothing to do with the transmission distance, and the packet loss rate has little impact; 6. Data security adopts encryption algorithm, and both the transmission process and data landing are encrypted; 7. Open multi-terminal SDK, easy and quick integration, etc. These are the advantages of large file transfers. I think each method has merits and the key lies in your transfer needs. Properly evaluate the needs of the transfer in order to choose the most efficient large file transfer solution.
