Why Speed Matters
Today's internet is more transactional than ever, with modern websites and apps requiring thousands of small data exchanges every second. This article explains how Island engineers tackled that complexity by writing routing software from scratch, stripping out inefficiencies, and optimizing packet handling. Read the article to see how this unique architecture gives Island routers a clear performance edge. Then, reach out to BlueTeamAssess LLC to talk about upgrading to Island routers that truly deliver.
Why is speed important for internet users?
Speed is crucial because users often notice delays when loading pages. If a page loads slowly, it can lead to frustration, while quick loading times enhance the overall browsing experience. The perception of internet performance is significantly influenced by how fast pages and links load.
What makes Island routers faster than others?
Island routers are designed with enterprise-grade hardware and unique routing software developed from scratch. Unlike typical residential routers that rely on open-source software with over 400,000 lines of code, Island's software uses about a tenth of that code, optimizing the handling of packets, especially smaller ones. This efficiency allows Island to better manage the high volume of transactions typical in today's internet usage.
What are the performance metrics of Island routers?
Island routers offer impressive performance metrics, including a maximum throughput of 3.7 Gbps, a maximum packet rate of 2,000,000 packets per second, and the ability to handle over 140,000 connections per second over TCP. Additionally, they can manage 88,000 connections per second over HTTP and 44,000 over HTTPS, showcasing their capability to support multiple users and devices simultaneously.
