METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ACCELERATING DATA COMMUNICATION THAT IS USING MULTIPART

摘要

A more efficient and user pleasant delivery of web content is realized for the transmission of markup language based files that include multipart information. Knowing that a receiving device maintains a cache of previously received objects, a markup language file is parsed to identify multipart objects prior to transmission. A cache simulator is established for each particular connection and is used to simulate the contents of the destination cache. Upon identifying a multipart object in a markup language file that is stored in the cache simulator, the object is filtered out of the file prior to transmission. The destination can pull this information from its local cache. Thus, the amount of information transmitted is reduced.
