20090106395 | Satellite Data Network Acceleration - A satellite data network may include one or more acceleration systems for acceleration data transfers through the network. The acceleration systems may spoof one or more protocols of a server to respond to requests from a client. One protocol that may be spoofed is the Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol for communication across platforms having different file systems. The acceleration system may send data to the client or the server by maximizing usage efficiency of the bandwidth. The acceleration system may further cache information needed for responding to one or more requests so that it may respond to the requests without consulting the server. In one or more arrangements, a client side acceleration system and a server side acceleration system may be used concurrently to further enhance data transfer speeds and efficiency. | 04-23-2009 |
