Description:
FIREHOSE gives you a basic data transfer over multiple network devices
supporting TCP/IP layers. "Stripe" multiple 100Mbit, Gigabit, 10
Gigabit, or firewire to give one humungous pipe for firehosing your
gigabytes and gigabytes of data.
FIREHOSE load balances the network devices so every ounce of bandwidth
is utilized. Combine a 400Mbit firewire eth device with a 100Mbit eth
device to get 500Mbits of power. Combine 10 100Mbit ethernet ports for a
gigabit pipe. The number of devices which can be used is limited only by
imagination and budget.
The FIREHOSE package contains a simple library allowing any application wishing
to stream data across "striped" networks to do so with just a few function
calls.
Also included is a file transfer utility and a pipe utility. Pipe gigabytes of
uncompressed video, CD-R images, scientific data, tar archives, and porn all
with the greatest of ease.
It also works with single network devices for those who just want to
pipe data over networks or defeat 2 gig limits on nfs and ftp.
There are catches of course. FIREHOSE is purely a data transfer library
and does not implement a TCP layer over multiple devices nor does it
have any security features. Support for The Soft won't happen. It's
purely intended for non-interactive, raw speed.
