TRANSPORT ACCELERATOR IMPLEMENTING REQUEST MANAGER AND CONNECTION MANAGER FUNCTIONALITY

摘要

Transport accelerator (TA) systems and methods for delivery of content to a user agent (UA) of the client device from a content server are provided according to embodiments of the present disclosure. Embodiments of a TA operate to subdivide, by a request manager (RM) of the TA, fragment requests provided by the UA each into a plurality of chunk requests for requesting chunks of the content and to provide, by the RM to a connection manager (CM) of the TA, chunk requests of the plurality of chunk requests for requesting chunks of the content. Requests may thus be made, by the CM, for the chunks of the content from the content server via a plurality of connections established between the CM and the content server.

1. A method for accelerating, by a transport accelerator (TA) of a client device, delivery of content to a user agent (UA) of the client device from a content server, the method comprising:
subdividing, by a request manager (RM) of the TA, fragment requests provided by the UA each into a plurality of chunk requests for requesting chunks of the content, wherein a size of content chunks of the chunk requests is determined to increase network transfer rate independent of network congestion avoidance operation of the content server; providing, by the RM to a connection manager (CM) of the TA, chunk requests of the plurality of chunk requests for requesting chunks of the content; and requesting, by the CM, the chunks of the content from the content server via a plurality of connections established between the CM and the content server.
