APOLLO Essentials - Updated ECWP protocol
• Faster delivery, simpler deployment• ECWP has been completely redesigned in line with modern web
architecture developments.• ECWP v3 highlighted new features:
Now completely stateless. This makes complex clustered solutions deployed behind firewall and security systems a lot simpler to install
Uses HTTP pipelining to display data at faster speeds than ever before as data is downloaded in parallel streams, making better use of networking infrastructure
No longer has any concept of “polling mode” Is supported by any application that implements the ECW / JP2 SDK v5 Over connections with high latency, low bandwidth conditions, drawing
performance can be as much as 3x faster When serving the new v3 ECW file format, 10-20% less data needs to be
transferred for no quality loss
