Our review
Pros	FASP supports large files and data sets across high-latency or lossy networks. Bandwidth policies, rate controls, and integrity checks support managed transfers. Hybrid deployment, Node API, and IBM Aspera integrations offer flexibility.	Parallel peer-to-peer transfers pair with WAN optimization and streaming.
