Abstract:
1. A system for accelerating protocol interactions over transport connections between a client and a server communicating over a network path, the system comprising: a first proxy in proximity to the client; a second proxy in proximity to the server, wherein the first proxy and the second proxy include logic for determining whether both the first proxy and the second proxy are in the network path from the client to the server; and a connection interception mechanism that, when the first and second proxies are determined to be in the network path, is configured to (1) transparently terminate, at the first proxy, a client to-server transport connection, thereby forming a first intercepted connection between the first proxy and the client, (2) transparently terminate, at the second proxy, a server-to-client transport connection, thereby forming a second intercepted connection between the second proxy and the server, and (3) establish a third connection between the first proxy and second proxy, wherein as part of a bandwidth optimization mechanism, the second proxy is configured to:
