FireWire

FireWire refers to the IEEE 1394 interface which is a serial bus interface standard used for interconnecting devices and enabling data transfer and communication between them. FireWire data transfer is based on a peer to peer technology, which means, that the devices communicating through FireWire technology, do not require a host computer and that they can achieve data transfer independently. The articles here tell you how FireWire works and compare it with other competing technologies thus giving you a clear idea of whether FireWire is a surefire way to achieve high-speed real time data transfer.
