Deliver the Speeds You Promise

See how WarpEngine™ helped an ISP increase throughput up to 8X across challenging fiber, wireless, satellite and long-haul paths – while improving subscriber experience and reducing support costs without adding network capacity.

Challenge, solution and results

Challenge

  • Jitter and packet loss can cause transport layer congestion control to throttle throughput, regardless of how much physical layer capacity is available.
  • Servers and subscriber devices react by reducing their data transmission rates, leaving much of the network's capacity untapped across long-haul, satellite, fiber and last mile wireless links.
  • Subscribers often do not experience the speeds they pay for—driving support tickets, churn risk, and lower satisfaction.

Solution

  • WarpEngine software was deployed at the ISP's most impacted edge locations as a transparent proxy that replaces standard transport layer functionality.
  • WarpEngine distinguishes true congestion from non-congestion jitter and loss, preventing unnecessary backoffs and improving throughput across impaired paths.
  • WarpEngine also provides per-flow throughput measurement for more effective support ticket handling. The ISP can now see how individual application sessions are performing, revealing issues hidden by aggregate speed tests.

Results

  • On a live LEO path, WarpEngine held 90% of capacity versus 63% with production BBR, and delivered 6–8X the throughput of CUBIC.
  • Public speed tests improved from 13 Mbps to 42 Mbps on the same host and path.
  • Video completion improved to 95% versus 70%—delivering a better subscriber experience and a more marketable performance advantage.
