Multi-Record Packaging

Current network optimization science is focused on reducing network overhead.  Internet Protocol (IP) networks can generate a lot of overhead depending on the paths taken by individual networks frames as they are relayed.  While this pursuit needs and should continue, its gains are insignificant against solving the issue of the industry using far too many network frames when transmitting too little information.  When dealing with data records, the current rational is that only one data record can be shipped across the network at a time. So, a record will always require at least one network frame. This is antiquated thinking and rooted in the human requirement of communicating one piece of information at a time. Forcing computers to send vast amounts of sensor and repetitive computer data and network frames.



The best way to reduce network overhead is to break the one record one frame approach and package multiple records together into a single network frame.  This requires certain enhancements to the data frame. Specifically, the data frame is redesigned to carry a dataset, instead of a data record. Multi-record packaging allows a single network frame to carry large numbers of high-density data records.  Eliminating this unnecessary network frame waste, internet customers will be able to reduce network frame requirements by 99%. By jettisoning all this unnecessary network overhead, accelerated network data delivery to near real-time is achieved.
