This is largely semantics. A protocol without a tool is useless. In fact, the tool near always predates the protocol. The protocol is defined by the tool makers once it becomes popular. Use rsync. Whatever protocol it uses, which is actually some kind of incremental crypto fingerprinting, it runs fast as hell, uses minimum bandwidth, and is free software.
