fasp over high-delay Satellite links

The high latency and bit error rates of satellite links severely hamper FTP file transfers, making large data set distribution or file upload over satellite impractical. FASP file transfer rates are immune to the distance and loss characteristic of single and multiple satellite hops. For example, a single FASP file transfer can fill a full transponder bandwidth (e.g. 45 Mbps) and will gracefully tolerate even the most extreme packet loss (over 30%), while FTP runs at 100 kbps or less and may not complete.
