Methods and apparatus to enhance the performance of web browsers over bandwidth constrained links

摘要

Increasing the performance of a browser while operating over bandwidth constrained links by pre-fetching of web objects to increase the level of concurrency. Using an agent or a gateway to speed up its Internet transactions over bandwidth constrained connections to source servers. Assisting a browser in determining the order of fetching objects in such a way that an object is ready and available locally before the browser requires it. Providing seemingly instantaneous availability of objects to a browser enabling it to complete processing the object to request the next object without much wait.
