🔧 How FastAPN Technology Works

⚡ PEPSAL Latency Optimization

Performance Enhancing Proxy Satellite Acceleration Layer (PEPSAL) uses network-level TCP interception to eliminate the performance penalty of high RTT networks. Traditional TCP suffers on satellite links because every packet must travel 35,786km to geostationary orbit and back - about 500ms round trip. PEPSAL intercepts TCP connections at our edge nodes and "pretends" to be the endpoint, completing the three-way handshake locally. This converts a 500ms+ RTT into a sub-10ms RTT from the user's perspective, while our servers handle the high-latency satellite connection transparently in the background.

🚫 DPD (Data Packet Detection) Filtering

Data Packet Detection destroys unwanted data at the source before it wastes your expensive satellite or aviation bandwidth. DPD identifies and blocks tracking scripts, telemetry, advertising networks, analytics, and background processes that applications send without user knowledge. In testing, we identified and prevented up to 52% of delivered data as unwanted background chatter. This isn't just faster - it directly reduces bandwidth costs on pay-per-MB satellite services.

🔄 Automatic TCP Algorithm Selection

Different network conditions require different congestion algorithms. FastAPN automatically selects the optimal TCP variant based on real-time performance metrics. TCP Hybla solves the problem of high RTTs by modifying the congestion window growth to be RTT-independent. TCP Westwood solves high link error rates by continuously calculating bandwidth and using it to set the congestion window when packet loss occurs. Hybla-i combines both for optimal satellite performance. Tahoe, Reno, and OILA algorithms are deployed when terrestrial optimization is more appropriate.

🌐 Multipath TCP (MPTCP)

MPTCP enables the simultaneous use of multiple network interfaces - for instance, using both a satellite connection and a cellular backup simultaneously. Data is spread across multiple subflows for better resource utilization, higher aggregate throughput, and seamless failover. If one path fails, traffic instantly reroutes through remaining paths with no connection interruption.

📦 Packet Conditioning Pipeline

Every packet goes through six conditioning stages: authentication (Proxy or Radius), chatter detection and elimination, user control application, packet validation, algorithm application, and final delivery. This multi-stage approach ensures maximum acceleration while maintaining security and allowing user customization of filtering rules.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PEPSAL and how does it reduce latency?
PEPSAL (Performance Enhancing Proxy Satellite Acceleration Layer) intercepts TCP connections at our edge nodes and completes the handshake locally instead of waiting for the satellite round trip. This converts a 500ms+ satellite RTT into a sub-10ms perceived latency for your applications. Our servers handle the slow satellite connection in the background while you experience local-network speeds.
What is DPD filtering and what does it block?
DPD (Data Packet Detection) identifies and destroys unwanted data at the source before it consumes your bandwidth. This includes tracking scripts, telemetry, advertising networks, analytics beacons, and background processes. In testing, we found up to 52% of satellite traffic was unwanted background chatter. DPD eliminates this waste, speeding up your connection and reducing costs on metered satellite services.
Do I need to install any software or hardware?
No. FastAPN is completely transparent. You simply configure your device or router to use our services via DNS, Proxy, VPN, or APN settings. No software installation, no hardware boxes, no changes to your applications. It works immediately with any device and operating system.
Will this work with my satellite internet provider?
Yes. FastAPN works with any satellite provider (Inmarsat, Iridium, Starlink, ViaSat, HughesNet, etc.) and any aviation WiFi system (Gogo, Panasonic, Viasat, Inmarsat). It's provider-agnostic because it operates at the TCP/IP level rather than being tied to specific hardware or services.
How much faster will my connection be?
Latency reduction varies by network type. GEO satellite links typically see 70-80% latency reduction (500ms to 50-100ms perceived). Throughput improvements depend on how much unwanted traffic DPD blocks - up to 52% bandwidth savings in optimal conditions. Real-world web browsing feels 3-5x faster on high-RTT networks.
Which global node should I use?
SmartAV DNS automatically positions you at the optimal node based on your location and requirements. You can also manually select nodes for geo-sensitive needs like corporate VPNs or regional streaming. London for Europe, Dallas for Americas, Singapore for Asia-Pacific, Frankfurt for Central Europe, Sydney for Oceania.
Does this work on aircraft WiFi?
Absolutely. FastAPN was specifically designed for aviation internet. Whether your aircraft uses satellite (Inmarsat, ViaSat, Panasonic) or ATG (Air-to-Ground like Gogo), FastAPN dramatically improves performance. Many airlines and business jet operators use our service.
Can I use this for VPN connections?
Yes. You can connect via our VPN service (L2TP/IPsec or PPTP) for encrypted acceleration, or you can route your existing VPN traffic through FastAPN nodes for acceleration. Both approaches work - choose based on whether you need FastAPN's VPN encryption or just acceleration of your corporate VPN.
What's the difference between public and corporate nodes?
Public Service Nodes (PSN) are shared resources available to all subscribers - perfect for individual users. Corporate Service Nodes (CSN) are dedicated private infrastructure for enterprise clients, with customizable locations, dedicated resources, and no shared access. Most users are fine with PSN.
How do I track bandwidth savings and performance?
Log into the management portal to view real-time throughput statistics, bandwidth savings from DPD filtering, resource usage, and detailed connection logs. You'll see exactly how much data was blocked and how your acceleration is performing.
