NDTn
NDTn refers to a networking technology focused on improving data transfer reliability and efficiency, particularly in challenging network environments. Its core principle is to move beyond the traditional TCP/IP protocol's reliance on packet loss as the primary indicator of congestion and to instead utilize a more direct measurement of available bandwidth. This approach aims to avoid unnecessary retransmissions and optimize the use of available network resources.
The technology often involves a different handshake and congestion control mechanism compared to TCP. Instead of
NDTn has applications in various fields, including scientific data transfer, cloud computing, and content delivery networks.
