Abstract: A computer-implemented method of caching multi-session data communications in a computer network, includes the steps of: (a) receiving, intercepting, or monitoring one or more data sessions between a client executing a multi-session application for retrieving a desired content object and one or more metadata services, said client communicating with the one or more metadata services to discover metadata for the content object; (b) analyzing queries and responses exchanged between the client and the one of more metadata services to discover metadata for the content object; (c) receiving or intercepting subsequent data sessions between the client and content sources; (d) identifying a data protocol used by the client and identifying data queries within the data sessions; (e) identifying the content object or portions thereof requested by the client in the data queries; and (f) determining if the content object or portions thereof are stored in cache and, if so, sending the content object or portions thereof stor

Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided for transparently optimizing data transmission between a first endpoint and a second endpoint in a computer network. The endpoints have a directly established data session therebetween. The data session is identified by each endpoint at least to itself in the same way throughout the session. The method includes the steps of: relaying data between the endpoints transparently in the session using a network optimization service; and transparently modifying or storing at least some of the data transmitted from the second endpoint to the first endpoint using the network optimization service in order to optimize data communications between the endpoints, wherein transparently modifying at least some of the data comprises changing the data, replacing the data, or inserting additional data such that the first endpoint receives different data than was sent by the second endpoint.

Abstract: An optimization service discovery method for optimizing data transmission by multi-session applications, includes: receiving an optimization service lookup query from one of a plurality of user clients in a network, each of said user clients executing a multi-session application; and identifying an optimization service and responding to the query with a network address of one or more servers providing said optimization service.
