ABSTRACT:
An architecture for optimizing network communications that utilizes a device positioned at two edges of a constrained Wide Area Network (WAN) link. The device intercepts outgoing network packets and reroutes them to a proxy application. The proxy application uses persistent connections with a network accelerator device at the other end of the persistent connection. The proxy applications transmit the intercepted data after compressing it using a dictionary-based compression algorithm. Packet mangling may involve spoofing the connection request at each end node; a proxy-to-proxy communication protocol specifies a way to forward an original address, port, and original transport protocol information end to end. The packet mangling and proxy-to-proxy communication protocol assure network transparency.
