Abstract
  • Most general purpose protocols are found to suffer from inefficiency in an Ethernet LAN environment when used for large volume data transfer. This is especially true with the TCP/IP family which was designed for a wide area network. This research work presents a proof of this inefficiency and proposes a new protocol with simpler construction and low overheads. This Fast File Transfer Protocol has been designed to take advantage of the features that are unique to Ethernet. Implementation of this new protocol, the Fast File Transfer Program for PC to PC communications, was found to achieve significant speedup over conventional file transfer programs. In addition to file transfer, the FFTP also implements a print server for the PC network. Design considerations for the protocol as well as the print server and some new techniques used, are discussed in detail.
