  • System and method to expedite the transfer of data within a network system
    Patent number: 6006263
    Abstract: A system and method is described for expediting the transfer of data in a network system wherein a user is coupled by a slow-speed data transfer facility to a first user environment which is the primary interface system for the user. The user begins the process by requesting the download of a data packet. The user interface sends a request for source information to the first user environment along its slow-speed data transfer facility. The response to the request consists of the source information of the data packet. The source information is received by the user interface, and is then sent to the second user environment having a fast-speed data transfer facility. The second user environment locates the data packet using the source information, and downloads the data packet to the user interface through the fast-speed data transfer facility.
