Abstract: An intermediate network device performs service aware path selection. For example, the intermediate network device comprises a network interface that receives network traffic and a control unit that couples to the network interface. The control unit comprises a storage medium that stores a first set of cost factors for a first path from the intermediate network device to another intermediate network device. The first set of cost factors includes at least one optimization cost factor corresponding to intermediate optimization capabilities available to the intermediate network device that offset other cost factors of the first set. The storage medium also stores a second set of cost factors for a second path between the devices. The control unit selects either the first path or the second path over which to forward the network traffic based on the first and second sets of cost factors.

Abstract: A method includes a proxy device receiving from a source device a request to establish a flow to a destination device; generating, based on the request, a meta-packet that indicates that the flow to the destination device is to be proxied; determining whether a pre-established flow connecting the proxy device to another proxy device that leads toward the destination device exists; sending the meta-packet on the pre-established flow, when it is determined that the pre-established flow exists; receiving by the other proxy device, the meta-packet, and establishing the flow to the destination device based on the meta-packet, where the proxy devices assign one or more of a source address, a source port, a destination address, or a destination port, associated with the source device and the destination device, to the pre-established flow.

Abstract: In one example, an intermediate network device sends packets that advertise a transmission control protocol (TCP) window size of zero bytes to a client device and a server device. The device, after sending the packets, receives a first zero-window probe packet from the client device including data representing a first current sequence number for a client-to-server packet flow of an established network session, and a second zero-window probe packet from the server device including data representing a second current sequence number for a server-to-client packet flow of the network session. The device also initializes a TCP state based on the first and second current sequence numbers, and acts as a TCP proxy for packets following the first zero-window probe packet of the client-to-server packet flow based on the TCP state and packets following the second zero-window probe packet of the server-to-client packet flow based on the TCP state.

Abstract: In general, techniques are described by which a path through a network may be selected based on service information. For example, a network device may include one or more interfaces, a control unit, and an integrated network acceleration device that provides a first set of services. The interfaces may receive service information that describes a second set of services provided by another network device. The control unit then determines, based on the service information, whether the other device shares any services in common with the integrated device. If so, the control unit selects a path through the network that includes the other device and causes the integrated device to apply the shared service to a portion of the traffic. The interfaces forward this portion along the determined path to the other device such that the other device applies the shared network acceleration services to the portion of the network traffic.

Abstract: In general, techniques are described for adaptively applying network acceleration services within an intermediate network device. In particular, the intermediate network device comprises a classifier module that receives network traffic and a servicing engine. The servicing engine applies the network acceleration services to the network traffic in accordance with a service configuration and monitors the application of network acceleration services to determine whether the application of each of the network acceleration services improves the efficiency with which the network traffic is serviced. The servicing engine then dynamically adapts the service configuration to alter the application of the network acceleration services based on the determination. Thereafter, the servicing engine applies the network acceleration services to the network traffic in accordance with the dynamically adapted service configuration to more efficiently service the network traffic.
