whitepaper Design, Implementation and Evaluation of a QoS-Aware Transport Protocol2008-06-04 University of New South Wales
  In the context of a reconfigurable transport protocol framework, the paper proposes a QoS-aware Transport Protocol (QSTP), specifically designed to operate over QoS-enabled networks with bandwidth guarantee. QSTP combines QoS-aware TFRC congestion control mechanism, which takes into account the network-level bandwidth reservations, with a Selective ACKnowledgment (SACK) mechanism in order to provide a QoS-aware transport service that fill the gap between QoS enabled network services and QoS constraint applications. The paper has developed a prototype of this protocol in the user-space and conducted a large range of measurements to evaluate this proposal under various network conditions.

Stewart needed a tool to distribute software upgrades to its customer base that would enable them not only to deliver the software, but also to have a detailed audit trail of which customers downloaded what files, and when. Biscom Delivery Server turned out to be the perfect solution to Stewart's problem. BDS is a Web-based secure file transfer solution that enables enterprise-class large file transfer.

whitepaper By Using Biscom Delivery Server to Send Large Files Both Internally and to Their Clients, John Wieland Homes and Neighborhoods Reduces Help Desk Calls, Eliminates Dependency on Email Attachments, and Secures Company Data2008-04-02 Biscom
  Since John Wieland (JW) Homes develops property, they have three groups that constantly need to access, share and edit large files. Since the company has a strict 10MB email attachment file size limit these documents cannot be sent via email. The documents, however, must be obtained immediately and frequently. The FTP process in place was not meeting their needs for more than one reason. Given these difficulties, the company began looking for alternative solutions. They did not want to implement a traditional FTP site nor did they want to outsource this function due to the highly proprietary nature of the data being transferred. BDS had all of the features they were looking for and solved their problems.

The firm investigated multiple secure delivery products, and their research and testing led to the conclusion that Biscom Delivery Server (BDS) was the easiest-to-use, product available.
