METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IMPROVING NETWORK PERFORMANCE ENHANCING PROXY ARCHITECTURE WITH GATEWAY REDUNDANCY

摘要

A communication gateway for providing redundant communication in a communication system having a remote platform is disclosed. The gateway includes a communication interface that receives a message from a host over a connection according to a prescribed protocol. Additionally, the gateway includes a processor that is coupled to the communication interface and is configured to identify the message received as an unspoofed message, and configured to terminate, during a predetermined period, the connection based upon the identified message. The processor is configured to restart a spoofed connection with another host. T he above arrangement has particular applicability to a bandwidth constrained communication system, such as a satellite network.
