Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method for processing network packets, the method comprising: receiving network data to be transported between a first Performance Enhancing Proxy (PEP) and a second PEP, the network data being segmented into two or more original network data packets; removing a header from each of the two or more original network data packets and collecting packet identifying data associated with the two or more original network data packets from the removed header before the network data is packetized into one or more performance enhanced packets by the first PEP, the packet identifying data comprising information regarding the segmentation of the network data into the two or more original network data packets; and transmitting the packet identifying data to the second PEP, the second PEP exactly reproducing the original packet segmentation of the network data upon receiving the packet identifying data from the first PEP by: retrieving information about each length of the two or more original network data packets from the packet identifying data, extracting data segments in the two or more original network data packets exactly as they were received in the first PEP, and generating new headers which are the same as the removed headers for each one of the extracted data segments, such that new data packets are regenerated, the regenerated new data packets being identical to the two or more original network data packets.
