WARP Network Optimizer
Abstract
The Biometrics Automated Toolset (BAT) replication ability is limited by the inefficiencies of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). TCP replacements have made strides in recent years and have solved many of the problems that limit the ability of TCP to move bytes, especially in low-bandwidth, high-latency networks. This project implements an alternative to TCP. The WARP Network Optimizer project addresses a critical warfighter capability gap identified in a Central Command Joint Urgent Operational Needs Statement. The objective of this project is to replace TCP with Circadence’s WARP software, which is a commercial product that uses an optimized protocol. WARP creates a tunnel between two endpoints using their protocol. All TCP traffic on a specific port between these two endpoints will use WARP. The payoff is an optimized protocol which will give a net gain in replication.
