Abstract: A system and method that optimizes transmission control protocol (TCP) initial session establishment without intruding upon TCP's core algorithms. TCP's initially session establishment is accelerated by locally processing a source's initial TCP request within the source's local area network (LAN). A control module relatively near the source's local area network (LAN) and another control module relatively near a destination's LAN are utilized to complete the initial TCP session establishment within the source and the destination's respective LANs, thereby substantially eliminating the first round-trip time delay before the actual data flow begins. The first application-layer data packet thus can be transmitted at substantially the same time as the initial TCP request.

Abstract: A data compression system and method for that is capable of detecting and eliminating repeated phrases of variable length within a window of virtually unlimited size.

Abstract: The present invention provides an efficient system and method for routing information through a dynamic network. The system includes at least one ingress point and one egress point. The ingress and egress point cooperate to form a virtual circuit for routing packets to destination subnets directly reachable by the egress point. The egress point automatically discovers which subnets are directly accessible via its local ports and summarizes this information for the ingress point. The ingress point receives this information, compiles it into a routing table, and verifies that those subnets are best accessed by the egress point. Verification is accomplished by sending probe packets to select addresses on the subnet. Additionally, the egress point may continue to monitor the local topology and incrementally update the information to the ingress to allow the ingress to adjust its compiled routing table.

Abstract: A computer implemented method and system for transferring data packets includes intercepting a stream of data packets at the connectionless network layer from a client or server, encoding and encapsulating the data packets, transmitting the encoded data packets, decoding and decapsulating the data packets, and injecting the decoded and decapsulated data packets into the connectionless network layer at a client or server. The encoding of the packets is based on detecting repetitions that could exist anywhere in the data stream. The repetitions are not necessarily within a single packet but could occur across multiple packets and multiple sessions. One of the encoding algorithms includes comparing the payloads of packets with identical signatures and transmitting the full packet only when the payload had not previously been sent.
