When we at DiViNetworks started to design a new optimization solution, we had the following guidelines in mind:
 

• Works with non-specific traffic: With traffic coming in all shapes and sizes, it is important to find a technology that is protocol indifferent and can work in all scenarios.
   
• Operates on a fundamental level: With technologies like dynamic URLs trying to prevent caching content for optimization purposes, it is important that an optimization solution enables you to work on the most fundamental level of data, bits and bytes. It should not be dependent on scanning and storing inaccessible or ever-changing content, like that provided through dynamic URLs.
   
• Prepared for tomorrow: As most service providers have come to understand, solutions that work today typically are not prepared for the challenges of tomorrow. It is important to find a technology that will work with tomorrow's technologies as easily as it does with today's.
   
• Support for asymmetric traffic: With the nature of today's sophisticated networks, it is important that any technology you choose for optimization is capable of working with asymmetric traffic.
   
• Does not require manual maintenance and management: The popularity of leading websites changes frequently and new sources of massive downloads are created almost daily. It is important to find a solution which will not be affected by these constant changes.

Internet users exhibit very similar usage patterns. Your network transmits the same bit-streams over and over again. You are the one paying for it.

DiViNetworks DiVination technology eliminates these repetitions. DiVinator agents, located on both sides of the expensive link, identify repeating bit-streams and code them effectively.

The minimized code from one end of the link reaches the peer-DiVinator on the other side and, in turn, is replaced by the original traffic. The process runs at wire-speed and is completely transparent to nodes external to the optimized link. In fact, from an IP perspective, DiVinators are network bridges, switches or routers.

In the figure below, with data from Cisco's VNI, you can see how effective DiVination's generic optimization is - today and tomorrow.



Do not confuse DiVination with compression or caching. DiVinators operate on already-compressed traffic, leveraging the repetition of bit-streams. DiVinators do not cache. They maintain end-to-end transmission from the content provider to the end device, not saving any piece of content.

DiVination is also completely agnostic and unaware of the content, protocol or application. DiVinators look only at bit-streams, and can therefore optimize any repetitive traffic. That is why a video will be recognized as repetitive traffic even if it is downloaded once over HTTP and once in RTMP, gets received as an email attachment, and is even watched live.

Strictly protocol-agnostic, not only do DiVinators demonstrate the broadest and deepest optimization, but they are also in full compliance with NetNeutrality. As opposed to caching, the end-to-end delivery performed by the DiVinators does not infringe the content owner's copyright and control rights.

DiVinators store enough bit-stream-level history to provide at least 30% optimization on top of existing optimization solutions, yet without requiring excessive storage. Furthermore, in products such as DiViAccess and DiViMesh, where storage is not available, DiVination can work in a diskless fashion.
