Parallel Communication

1 Advances in communication rates exceed the ability of a single source to fully utilize a gigabit WAN channel with existing deterministic protocols. Parallel communication describes a method for reducing latency by managing indeterminism and increasing channel utilization, given a surplus bandwidth-delay product. It involves a nondeterministic state mechanism, with a modified protocol interface.
