Red Swoosh was a peer-to-peer file sharing company founded by Travis Kalanick and Michael Todd in 2001 and acquired by Akamai Technologies in 2007. The Red Swoosh technology included a centralized directory that indexed online clients and caches. The Red Swoosh client is a peer to peer networking client from Akamai Technologies that downloads and sideloads video multicasts from websites that support the Red Swoosh technology. The Red Swoosh peercasting tool is a browser extension that caches data, reflecting and sharing files delivered through the "Swoosh network" or Distributed Network. Red Swoosh utilizes a proprietary, peer-to-peer (P2P) file distribution protocol, designed for bandwidth efficiency in the transfer of large media files. The company offers a software development kit (SDK) for third-party development. This includes support for predelivery, RSS feeds, web widgets, and JavaScript applications. There is also a forum and a wiki available for the developer community. ==Acquisition== On April 12, 2007 Red Swoosh was acquired in an all-stock transaction by Akamai Technologies.
