SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING CLIENT-SIDE ACCELERATION TECHNIQUES

摘要

The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for dynamically deploying and executing an acceleration program on a client to improve the performance and delivery of remotely accessed applications. The acceleration program of the present invention is automatically installed and executed on a client in a manner transparent to and seamless with the operation of the client. In one embodiment, the acceleration program is dynamically provided by an appliance device upon determination by the device that the client's access to a server or remote application can be accelerated. In some embodiments, the acceleration program performs one or more of the following acceleration techniques on the client: 1) multi­protocol compression 2) transport control protocol pooling, 3) transport control protocol multiplexing 4) transport control protocol buffering and 5) caching. Also, in some embodiments, the acceleration program performs these acceleration techniques in an integrated and efficient manner at the transport layer using a kernel-level data structure. In another embodiment, the client-side acceleration program performs proxy redirection techniques to automatically bypass any intermediary devices to continuously provided access by the client to the server or a remotely accessed application.
