Nonlinear Neural Nets Smooth Wi-Fi Packets 204
mindless4210 writes "Smart Packets, Inc has developed the Smart WiFi Algorithm, a packet sizing technology which can predict the near future of network conditions based on the recent past. The development was originally started to enable smooth real-time data delivery for applications such as streaming video, but when tested on 802.11b networks it was shown to increase data throughput by 100%. The technology can be applied at the application level, the operating system level, or at the firmware level."

"Introducing iFluff/XP: An XML-based Object-oriented neural networking system that will synergize the modular components of your SO/HO WAN protocols, while minimizing TCO and giving five 9's reliability by branch-predicting streaming traffic through your SAN, NAS, or ASS.
iFluff/XP allows you to commoditize and monetize the super-size networkcide as rogue packets from black hats and white hats and clue bats compete for cyber-mindshare of your Red Hat hosts.
Secure your Homeland LAN and manage your digital rights with dignitude and affordability with the help of iFluff/XP's bytecode-based embedded operating system protocols interfacing through broadband Wi-Fi connectivity and virtual presense frameworks.
A user-friendly GUI is provided through an XSLT module interfacing to leading industry applications such as Mozilla,
When you're thinking of buzzword-compliiant, ISO9001 conformant, remotely-managed turnkey security solutions, remember iFluff.... TO THE XXXTREME!"
Oh god, my brain hurts now.

Anyway, I'm only replying because you're being "insigful" and it made me laugh.
"Insighful" would be moderation for when a comment makes you sigh. Hmm..

"Packets" are units of data transfer. Usually the term applies to small, variable length amounts of data, only a small fraction of a LoC.
"WiFi" is short for WireFire, also known as EIII 17.208, which is a high-speed serial protocol that has an unfortunate tendency to overheat and cause insulation fires when "overclocked" unless you are careful to install the proper cooling gadgets on your cables -- hence the nickname.
Al Gore invented the Internet, but this is technology invented by Slick Willy, so you know it's smooth.
"Neural" is the cute kitten in Garfield comics. Kinda annoying to me, but some people like it well enough to use as a mascot, I guess. WireFire usually runs over CAT 5 cable, so it's geek pun. They find the strangest things amusing sometimes.
"Nonlinear", of course, means "not a line". It's kind of redundant in this context, since no 3D object like a kitten is a 2D object remotely like a line unless your video card really sucks.
So, in short, the article is about new technology invented by the government to sneakily capture your personal data at heretofore unobtainable rates by using trained cats. Write your Congressmen in protest today.
