What is best protocol which gives more speed then TCP for low bandwidth wireless networks.



Example: for internet though GPRS which has bandwidth ( 3 to 50 kbps)

For what purpose?

Sorry for late reply, we are developing http proxy servers. One proxy server is with internet service providers (ISP) and another proxy server is in mobiles or laptop, the data transmitting between them is through wireless. So which protocol is good for fast and reliable then TCP

TCP is reliable, but handshaking causes delays over high latency connections (e.g., GPRS). UDP avoids delays, but has no built-in checking, so your software would have to provide its own.

So any other protocol which is combination of udp and tcp futures which works faster for low speed wireless networks
