Patent ID: 7596802

Claim:
A method for routing information in a communication system that includes a platform and a spoofing apparatus configured to perform a plurality of performance enhancing functions over connections established within the communication system, the method comprising: receiving the information from the platform; receiving one or more spoofing parameters and a spoofing selection parameter for specifying a rule for applying the spoofing parameters, wherein the spoofing parameters include information for specifying whether spoofing is enabled for a selected one of the connections and priority information specifying priority treatment of the selected connection, wherein the spoofing apparatus maintains a profile that contains the spoofing selection parameter and the spoofing parameters, the profile including a maximum segment size; compensating for maximum segment size mismatch between the selected connection and a connection to an end host by dynamically resizing, based on the profile, data segments which comprise the information before forwarding the data segments to the end host; and routing the information in accordance with the profile.
