Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for optimization and acceleration of data transport and processing in a communication system or computer network. The system comprises one or more client devices each running a client application module, one or more communication server modules, a launcher module, and a controller module for initiating system modules, allocating system resources, and monitoring system operation. A client application modules is the means through which data is translated from its original format into an accelerated transport protocol (ATP) format for optimized and accelerated transport to a communication server module. A client application module also recieves reply data from a communication server module and translates the received data from ATP format back to its original format. The controller module is responsible for creating the interface between the communication server module and the launcher module, which involves the creation of processing queues.
