An embodiment of the present invention optimizes Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol ("TCP/IP") connections in a network having intermediary agents to minimize fragmentation. In particular, an embodiment of the present invention is a method that includes the steps of: (a) the intermediary agent recognizing a segment transmitted over the client-server connection containing a maximum segment size; and the intermediary agent changing the maximum segment size contained in the segment. In one embodiment, the step of changing includes reducing the maximum segment size by a determination of a measure of an increase in data produced by operation of the intermediary agent on data transmitted therethrough. |
