Systems and methods for providing client-side accelerating technology

Abstract

The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for dynamically deploying and executing an acceleration program on a client to improve the performance and delivery of remotely accessed applications. The acceleration program of the present invention is automatically installed and executed on a client in a manner transparent to and seamless with the operation of the client. In one embodiment, the acceleration program is dynamically provided by an appliance device upon determination by the device that the client's access to a server or remote application can be accelerated. In some embodiments, the acceleration program performs one or more of the following acceleration techniques on the client: 1) multi­protocol compression 2) transport control protocol pooling, 3) transport control protocol multiplexing 4) transport control protocol buffering and 5) caching. Also, in some embodiments, the acceleration program performs these acceleration techniques in an integrated and efficient manner at the transport layer using a kernel-level data structure. In another embodiment, the client-side acceleration program performs proxy redirection techniques to automatically bypass any intermediary devices to continuously provided access by the client to the server or a remotely accessed application.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 640,464, filed December 30, 2004, entitled "SYSTEM ANDMETHOD FOR DYNAMIC ACCELERATION OF REMOTELY-ACCESSED APPLICATION," and filed January 24, 2005, entitled "SYSTEM AND METHOD FORESTABLISHING A VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK" US Patent Application No. 11 / 039,946 priority. technical field [0003] The present invention generally relates to data communication networks. In particular, the present invention relates to systems and methods for automatically deploying, installing and executing client acceleration programs. Background technique [0004] Today, enterprises are increasingly required to provide application access to service providers, partners, and employees located outside the confines of the corporate network. However, congested wide area network (WAN) links, heavy server loads, and low bandwidth on remote connections can hinder access to applications and can degrade th...
