“…In addition to connections, the CS also handles the data ACKs and the connection closing. This architecture avoids any delay due to inter-server packet as discussed in [14]. The CS has complete knowledge of the requested file, including its name, size, and other attributes, but it may or may not have whole the file itself.…”

“…The data could reside on only one server, or on multiple servers if reliability is desired. Splitting a client's HTTP request and the underlying TCP connection in this manner provides benefit of data location anonymity while enabling load sharing among servers [14].…”

“…The detail explains how a TCP connection is split by a BMC Web server; consider the modified message exchange shown in Figure 1. The novel splitting concept is based on splitting the HTTP request and underlying TCP connection into two sets {CE, CT} and {DT} [14]. It allows one server to handle connections and the other to handle data without a need for too many interactions between servers.…”

“…These data servers can be located at different subnets [13]. We presented the split protocol concept in [14,15,16,17]. We described Web server and client applications that are designed and implemented using a bare machine computing (BMC) paradigm [13], also known as dispersed operating system computing (DOSC).…”

This paper proposes a novel client/server architecture known as Multi-client/Multi-server (MC/MS). MC/MS is an alternative to BitTorrent-like peer-to-peer systems, single source multiple mirrored techniques, and n-tier client and server protocol. The use of a peer-to-peer resource protocol increases network traffic and impacts all users on the network. In the MC/MS architecture, one client establishes a connection with one connection server, and concurrent data are dispatched from multiple data servers located on different subnets from each other. The data can be dispatched to the multiple clients anywhere on the network, which then reassemble or otherwise process the data. MC/MS distributes the data of a large file across multiple servers without any redundancy. The separation of data transfer from a connection establishment is entirely transparent to the client. It reduces network impact, avoids redundancy of data, and improves reliability of the system by avoiding a bottlenecks at both the server and client sides. MC/MS reduces transmission time up to 82% as compared to the conventional techniques. It also offers much better data transmission time than comparable BitTorrent systems in a LAN environment. This paper proposes a 'mission-critical' application as the motivation for this work. The paper describes a design and an initial implementation of the MC/MS architecture, and serves as a foundation for prospective application implementers.
