Through the years there were different attempts by different entities to improved the efficiency of data delivery on the Web.

proprietary - Is it possible to get the performance without replacing the TCP/IP? This way, users are finally allowed to actually reach the bandwidth they paid for in the first place. Speedbit patented multi channel technology bypasses and overcomes such slowing factors by initiating and managing several simultaneous connections, downloading different parts of the requested file simultaneously, from one or more servers and then building the file up. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link and a data transfer session is only as fast as the slowest route along the way between the source and the destination. The reason lies in the way the internet is built. Perhaps the most vivid indication of this flaw is the fact Internet Service Providers keep selling us ultra high speed connections, but downloading still takes too long and watching a smooth HD video stream is not really happening. A slow server, busy path, congested area, to name a few, will all impact the delivery speed and efficiency some times in a dramatic a way.

Its most important flaw is its low efficiency when it comes to data delivery. Like anything else it is not free of flaws.

It is widely adopted and does a great job delivering packets of data to their destinations in a very scalable way. The TCP/IP is the protocol that handles data transfer over the web. TCP/IP protocol - Great protocol - low efficiency for data delivery.
