History

Understanding the problems that have consistently plagued the healthcare industry, PGMS was formed in an effort to develop innovative new solutions for the modern physician. The answers that the company found came in the form of strategy and technology. By helping healthcare experts keep their practices up to date, PGMS aimed to help healthcare operations overcome former obstacles.

Founded on the principles of "Helping Physicians Work Smarter, Not Harder", PGMS started out by providing services directly to individual healthcare workers. Years of first-hand experience working with physicians illustrated that change in the healthcare industry must occur from the bottom up. PGMS continues to place and empower physicians in the epicenter of healthcare in the firm belief that any vision for change within this industry that does not include them is bound to fail.


Keeping true to this belief, in the late 90’s PGMS began expanding its operations into other areas of the healthcare market. In doing so, the company was able to offer large organizations valuable information about physician practices. Immediately, it became clear that assisting other healthcare organizations in understanding physician needs was a highly effective way of improving patient care.


Helping businesses understand the ins and outs of the healthcare industry became a new goal for PGMS and, in 2003, this initiative took the company to outside markets. Recognizing the potentially diverse applications of the skills and knowledge that PGMS employees had acquired over the years, the company began actively seeking and engaging in projects with organizations outside of the field of healthcare market. 2003 (MMIII) was a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

RFC 3208 (rfc3208) - PGM Reliable Transport Protocol Specification (18767 words)
PGM guarantees that a receiver in the group either receives all data packets from transmissions and repairs, or is able to detect unrecoverable data packet loss.
PGM supports any number of sources within a multicast group, each fully identified by a globally unique Transport Session Identifier (TSI), but since these sources/sessions operate entirely independently of each other, this specification is phrased in terms of a single source and extends without modification to multiple sources.
PGM network elements use this information to address returning unicast NAKs directly to the upstream PGM network element toward the source, and thereby insure that NAKs return from a receiver to a source on the reverse of the distribution path for the TSI.
