Abstract:
1. A TCP communication system wherein: first and second terminals are provided and connected by TCP to each other through a network; a first relay device is provided in a transmission line between the first terminal and the network; a second relay device is provided in a transmission line between the network and the second terminal; the first and second relay devices are connected to each other through the network; the first and second relay devices establish three divisional TCP connections between the first terminal and the first relay device, between the first relay device and the second relay device, and between the second relay device and the second terminal; the first and second relay devices catch TCP connection SYN packets, and establish the TCP connections on behalf of the first and second terminals without having IP addresses; and the first and second relay devices add a specific function to TCP communication through the TCP connections, wherein the specific function includes: an encrypted communication function implementing encryption and decryption; an anti-virus function implementing a procedure for interrupting unauthorized TCP communication; a load distributing function implementing a procedure for distributing transmission depending on load condition; a bandwidth control function implementing a procedure for congestion control and bandwidth control; and a gateway function implementing a procedure for relay for a special line, wherein the first and second relay devices establish only the TCP connection between the first and second relay devices, when authorizing the first and second relay devices by exchanging information with each other during the procedure of connection before the procedure of connection is completed.
