This document summarizes the features of Extreme TCP, a proprietary application developed by
Mainline Net Holdings, that improves transmission speed for all data sent via the Internet
(broadband, cable or satellite) or any other TCP based network by up to and over 1000%.
Company profile
Mainline Net1 – is a software development company which was created to exploit the
groundbreaking inventions of a group of prominent networking engineers. Mainline Net is
privately owned, well funded and has made significant investments into the development of
Extreme TCP. With Extreme TCP now ready for commercial use Mainline Net aims to develop into a
large global company dedicated to the distribution and support of Extreme TCP and other products
to be announced in the coming years.
The product
Extreme TCP is a software which can significantly improve transmission speeds over terrestrial
and/or satellite TCP networks. Being a purely software solution, Extreme TCP does not require any
costly hardware purchasers and will work with most existing systems.
Each current TCP implementation includes a self-restraining algorithm that limits the amount of
data the computer sends in order to prevent network congestion. Our engineers have discovered
and developed a congestion avoidance algorithm that is capable of much higher transmission
speeds while at the same time doing a better job at preventing congestion. This new algorithm is
embodied in Extreme TCP -- a software that can greatly improve transmission speeds without
requiring any additional hardware or network infrastructure.
By improving the speed of transmission for all data sent via TCP, Extreme TCP greatly improves the
performance of any software that uses TCP, such as: Apache, Microsoft IIS, any other web-server,
Microsoft Outlook and others.
– Improvements are dramatic – for modern broadband connections we usually see
improvements of 400-1000% over standard Windows TCP.2
– Satellite data connections' speed improvement can be significant as well with an expected
average improvement of 600% over standard TCP.

Extreme TCP results in faster web-pages, file transfers and other digital transfers and higher
definition on-line video without needing to spend resources on additional hardware or
infrastructure.
Extreme TCP is a light application that can be installed as a drop-in replacement/ augmentation of
an Operating System's existing TCP implementation.3 Extreme TCP does not require any
configuration to operate. It also does not need to be installed at the end user level. Server based
installation is sufficient. The end user need not be even aware of the presence of Extreme TCP.
Extreme TCP’s USP
Extreme TCP's main USP is speed. Furthermore, it is speed that can be achieved simply, easily and
without costly and dangerous changes to existing software and/or hardware.
The business model
Extreme TCP – a patent pending product in more than 100 countries – is sold under license to our
customers (mainly large companies ranging from but not limited to OS software providers, web
hosting providers, website performance acceleration providers, general networking/enterprise
solution providers, large and data intensive website operators and any significant satellite data
provider or user – including government offices). Because we believe that Extreme TCP will
unconditionally improve the business of all our clients, our preferred pricing model is based on a
revenue share. In cases where revenue is not directly tied to Extreme TCP's performance, we also
provide per server license pricing.
We are business minded and would work on an ad-hoc basis to find the best mutually beneficial
solution for individual clients.
Extreme TCP is and will be supported by world class after sale support including 24/7 technical
support.
Additional information
One of our representatives will arrange a meeting with your key decision makers to present a live
demo of our product. We will also be more than happy to arrange for an internal test if you would
like to measure Extreme TCP's benefits on your own infrastructure.

2 These were measured over non-trivial geographic distances, such as California-New York. There
is some variation based on general Internet traffic and connection quality. E ven in rare worst case
scenarios we see at least 10-30 % improvement over the standard Windows TCP over non -trivial
distances.
3 Windows is currently supported. Support for Linux, BSD and OSX is coming soon.
