Bandwidth Pool: more than one connection can carry

When a single internet connection is the bottleneck, a bigger server doesn't help. Bandwidth Pool splits a large transfer and streams it over several encrypted network paths at the same time, using spare capacity from nodes in the Symbola network.

It is built for real-time throughput: live media, streaming data and anything that can't wait for one slow link. The MVP already moves large files three times faster; continuous streaming is the next milestone.

How a transfer runs

  1. A large file or dataset is submitted for transfer.
  2. The control plane splits it into parts and picks several network paths through available nodes.
  3. The parts travel in parallel over encrypted tunnels, so one slow or congested route doesn't hold up the whole file.
  4. The parts are checked and reassembled at the destination.

What fits

SituationWhy it helps
Media teams moving dailies and raw footageUploads stop waiting on one line
Sites sharing large datasetsThroughput adds up across paths
Remote locations with weak linksA second or third path keeps data moving

See how it fits into media production and edge workloads.

What's next

Next on the roadmap: active path selection based on measured path health, automatic rerouting when a node degrades, and streaming for real-time workloads.
