Claim:
1. A method of automatically discovering optimized routes, the method comprising: receiving a request by a client-side optimization device from a client device to access a server identified in the request; sending, by the client-side optimization device, the request received from the client device and a probe request to the server; receiving, by the client-side optimization device and from a server-side optimization device, a probe response to the probe request and identifying information for a plurality of servers including the server that are in communication with the server-side optimization device; storing, by the client-side optimization device, the identifying information; communicating, by the client-side optimization device, the identifying information for the plurality of servers received from the server-side optimization device to at least one other client-side optimization device; and establishing, by the client-side optimization device, an optimization route with the server-side optimization device, wherein the optimization route allows network communications to be communicated between the client device and the server.
