A nested enhancer 22 located in a first network such as an internet 40 connects with a second nested enhancer 32 located in a second network such as a stub network or further internet. The nested enhancers form a pair with each knowing the IP address of the other. Each nested enhancer terminates any TCP connection that it receives from a stub network or internet host 20, and responds to the originating host as if it were the ultimate end system. The nested enhancer terminating the connection then 'tunnels' data in the TCP connection to its partner, which regenerates the connection to the end system. The tunnelling is preferably achieved with a dedicated IP tunnel. By applying a connection splitting technique rather than simple encapsulation of data allows performance enhancement in connection set-up time and flow control. The IP tunnel may pass through any number of enhancer pairs nested inside the outer pair and through a geostationary satellite link.
