“…A transparent TCP acceleration technique was proposed in [74,75] by using network processors to increase TCP throughput inside the network without requiring any changes in end-system TCP implementations, and is thus undetectable to the end-system. Figure 10 shows the architecture of this TCP accelerator implemented on a network processor.…”

“…Some focus on maximizing bandwidth utilization, others address latency, and still others address protocol inefficiency which hinders the effective delivery of packets across the WAN. The most common techniques, employed by WAN optimization to maximize application performance across the WAN, include compression [6][7][8][9][10], data deduplication [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24], caching [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39], prefetching , and protocol optimization [63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76]…”

Abstract-Applications, deployed over a wide area network (WAN) which may connect across metropolitan, regional or national boundaries, suffer performance degradation owing to unavoidable natural characteristics of WANs such as high latency and high packet loss rate. WAN optimization, also known as WAN acceleration, aims to accelerate a broad range of applications and protocols over a WAN. In this paper, we provide a survey on the state of the art of WAN optimization or WAN acceleration techniques, and illustrate how these acceleration techniques can improve application performance, mitigate the impact of latency and loss, and minimize bandwidth consumption. We begin by reviewing the obstacles in efficiently delivering applications over a WAN. Furthermore, we provide a comprehensive survey of the most recent content delivery acceleration techniques in WANs from the networking and optimization point of view. Finally, we discuss major WAN optimization techniques which have been incorporated in widely deployed WAN acceleration productsmultiple optimization techniques are leveraged by a single WAN accelerator to improve application performance in general.

“…Another example for a novel application that targets performance improvements in the network through the use of network processing is "Transparent TCP Acceleration" [20]. Programmable routers in the network can opportunistically act as TCP proxies by terminating TCP connections and opening a new connection towards the destination.…”

The growth in ubiquity, performance, and commercial and academic use of computer networks continues to demand more performance and flexibility from the underlying network infrastructure. The lack of security, quality of service, and manageability in the current Internet poses a significant challenge and highlights the importance of considering other network designs. Programmable routers provide a vehicle for experimenting with new architectures that allow the dynamic deployment of new protocols and services. To achieve the necessary throughput performance, programmable routers employ network processors, which are embedded system-on-a-chip multiprocessors. This paper discusses the challenges that such systems pose in terms of system architecture, programming abstraction, and deployment. The potential applications highlight the benefits of making router programmability a first-class networking function.
