Abstract:
1. A method for optimizing a transfer of a data file of electronic data between a source and a destination across a network, comprising: determining data parameters of the data file; determining network parameters of the network; determining a user-defined transfer parameter for transferring the data file between the source and the destination, wherein the user-defined transfer parameter comprises periodic retransmission information, wherein the user-defined transfer parameter is defined by a customer of the network; determining, subsequent to determining the data parameters, the network parameters and the user-defined transfer parameter, a method for transferring the data file from the source to the destination across the network that satisfies the user-defined transfer parameter, wherein the determining the method for transferring the data file is performed by an optimizer of a server, wherein the determining the method for transferring the data file further comprises: initiating the transfer of the data file in accordance with the method data transfer optimization technique that is selected.
