Method and apparatus for secure byte-level file transmission using weighted fair queueing and block interposers

Abstract

A method and apparatus for secure and efficient file transmission across distributed networks using byte-level segmentation, Weighted Fair Queueing (WFQ), and block interposer mechanisms. Files are divided into byte-sized units (BCODEs), each assigned a unique identifier comprising a string code and sequence number. WFQ schedules the transmission of these units by assigning priority weights based on criticality, ensuring optimal bandwidth allocation and fairness. A block interposer validates the integrity of each byte during transmission and retransmits corrupted units through alternate paths, enhancing security and reliability. The system supports multi-path transmission, dynamically redistributing retransmitted bytes to mitigate interception risks. A byte collector at the receiver's end validates, reassembles, and stores transmitted data, ensuring integrity and order. The invention's modular design allows scalability and compatibility with diverse network configurations, providing a robust framework for secure, efficient, and granular data handling in modern distributed environments.
