1. A method of optimizing mobile traffic on a mobile device connected to a server and subscribed to an operator of a public Internet Protocol (IP) network comprising:

  • hosting a first mobile application and a second mobile application;

    receiving a network policy originating from within a private IP network, wherein the private IP network is owned by an operator of the public IP network and policy enforcement related to the network policy is performed to conserve battery of the mobile device;

    identifying the public IP network and the private IP network accessed by mobile traffic at the mobile device;

    detecting outgoing traffic from one of the first or second mobile application executing on the mobile device;

    assigning a priority level to the outgoing traffic, wherein the priority level is based on an application status, and wherein the priority level is one of a first priority corresponding to the first mobile application and a second priority corresponding to the second mobile application;

    sending first priority outgoing traffic to an application server bypassing a distributed proxy system, including at least a client side proxy component on the mobile device and a server side proxy on a host server;

    intercepting second priority outgoing traffic at a client side proxy of the distributed proxy system;

    determining whether a network destination of the second priority outgoing traffic is within (i) the public IP network or (ii) the private IP network;

    performing optimization based on the network policy of the second priority outgoing traffic to conserve battery and radio usage when (i) or (ii) is affirmative and sending the optimized outgoing traffic to the network destination; and

    sending the second priority outgoing traffic to the application server without optimization at the client side proxy when neither (i) nor (ii) is affirmative.
