Performance

MTP/IP consistently out-performs TCP/IP in terms of both absolute speed and path utilization.

The graphs below show the results of a recent test across 72 different Internet paths of varying capacities.  Throughput was measured for each protocol for ten seconds at a time, with ten seconds of idle time between tests.  Each dot represents the average of five tests on a single path.

Linear Partial View MTP averages 3.5x faster TCP has trouble scaling to high speeds MTP is up to 12x faster TCP averages less than 50% efficiency
Logarithmic Full View MTP stays near 100% utilization TCP can drop below 10% MTP offers consistent performance TCP performance varies greatly

The results shown above are just a sample of the testing that we routinely conduct to ensure MTP's continued performance and scalability.  You can perform your own tests by running our HyperGate Demonstration or by downloading free trials of ExpeDat and HyperGate.  Also try our free network diagnostic utility to evaluate your networking capabilities.
