Abstract: The solution described herein provides systems and methods for the interoperability of network processing programs that process network packets at different levels of the network stack. This solution bridges the communications of a network packet between a first network processing program operating at a first level of a network stack in an intermediary and a second network processing program operating at a second level of the network stack of the intermediary. The first network processing program may modify an incoming network packet so that the packet may traverse the network stack to an upper level of the stack to the second network processing program. After processing the network packet at the upper layers of the stack or by the second network processing program, the first network processing program modifies the network pack in order to transmit the packet to the intended destination while traversing the intermediary.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for peer-to-peer video precaching is described. In one embodiment, the method comprises building a user profile, periodically checking for new content of objects in the user profile, maintaining a data base of available objects and location of said objects, and determining the download location of an object requested by a user.

Abstract: Systems and methods of storing previously transmitted data and using it to reduce bandwidth usage and accelerate future communications are described. By using algorithms to identify long compression history matches, a network device may improve compression efficiently and speed. A network device may also use application specific parsing to improve the length and number of compression history matches. Further, by sharing compression histories and compression history indexes across multiple devices, devices can utilize data previously transmitted to other devices to compress network traffic. Any combination of the systems and methods may be used to efficiently find long matches to stored data, synchronize the storage of previously sent data, and share previously sent data among one or more other devices.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for displaying locally stored content objects is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method comprises running an agent on a machine and integrating one or more locally stored objects in a page being displayed using information from the agent.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for displaying locally stored content objects is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving a message containing one or more parameters indicative of one or more characteristics of a client, and sending one of a plurality of groups of one or more content objects from a set of content objects to the client based on the one or more parameters, wherein each of the plurality of groups is suited for use with clients having a different set of one or more parameters.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing content objects prior to their display is described. In one embodiment, the method comprises a client receiving a content object over a network connection; the client, prior to allowing the content object to be dynamically displayed, examining the content object and changing a portion of the content object to reflect information stored locally to the client, and dynamically displaying the content object changed based on the local information at the client.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for content precaching is described. In one embodiment, the method comprises periodically checking servers in a networked environment for new content based on a profile, storing content identified as new on the servers in a cache accessible by an network access gateway, the network access gateway thereafter detecting whether a request is for at least a portion of the identified new content previously stored in the cache, and returning the at least a portion of the identified new content from the cache.
