Abstract: A network communication system for communicating data from a source network location to a destination network location is disclosed. The system comprises a source network device and a destination network device. The source network device has a source control packet manager that detects a source data packet when the source data packet is received at the source network device from a remote network device, generates a forged response control packet in response to detection of the source data packet, and sends the forged response control packet to the remote network device. The destination network device detects a destination response packet sent from the destination location in response to reception of the source control packet at the destination location, and prevents sending of the destination response packet to the remote location.

Abstract: A network communication system for communicating data from a source network location to a destination network location is described. The system has a source network device that buffers received source data packets and combines the payload data of the plurality of received source data packets, compresses the combined payload data and adds a custom packet header to the compressed combined payload data so as to produce a custom data packet. The system also comprises a destination network device that buffers the received custom data packet, decompresses the combined payload data in the custom data packet, separates the respective decompressed payload data associated with the respective source data packets, and recreates the source data packets from the decompressed separated payload data.
