Disclosed is a system for minimizing the effects of faults over an air link of a wireless transmission channel utilizing Transport Control Protocol (TCP). The system includes a TCP-Aware Agent Sublayer (TAS) in a protocol stack, which has a mechanism for caching both TCP packets during forward transmission and acknowledgment (ACK) return packets. The caching mechanism is located near a wireless link of the wireless transmission channel. The system also includes a link monitoring agent coupled to the TAS. The link monitoring agent monitors the condition of the wireless transmission channel for an occurrence of a predefined fault. Once a predefined fault is detected, a system response is implemented based on the type of fault encountered. When the fault is an air link packet loss, an associated packet is immediately retransmitted from the cache, and when the fault is a temporary disconnect, a congestion window of the TCP source is closed.

The present disclosure describes systems and methods for load balancing multiple application delivery controllers (ADCs) in multiple tiers. An upper layer of the tier comprises ADCs that load balance the plurality of ADCs of a lower layer of the tier. In order to appropriately share and maintain client IPs for transparent cache redirection scenarios, the transport layer (Transport Control Protocol (TCP)) port range is split among the ADCs of the lower tier. The lower tier ADCs would then create a connection only using a source port assigned to them. The response from the origin will then be sent to the upper level ADC which looks at the destination port and forward the packet to the correct lower tier ADC. Hence, the ADCs at two levels will work in conjunction to provide transparent cache direction.
