Systems and methods for providing client-side accelerated access to remote applications via TCP pooling
First Claim
1. A method for accelerating access by the client to a server by pooling on the client one or more transport layer connections to the server, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) intercepting, by an acceleration program on the client, a first request by a first application to establish a first transport layer connection with a server;
(b) establishing, by the acceleration program, a transport layer connection between the acceleration program and the server;
(c) intercepting, by the acceleration program, a second request by a second application to establish a second transport layer connection with the server; and
(e) using, by the acceleration program, the established transport layer connection to provide the requested transport layer connection for the second application.

Abstract
The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for dynamically deploying and executing acceleration functionality on a client to improve the performance and delivery of remotely accessed applications. In one embodiment, the client-side acceleration functionality is provided by an acceleration program that performs a transport layer connection pooling technique for improving performance of communications and delivery of a remotely-accessed application. The acceleration program establishes a transport layer connection from the client to the server that can be used by multiple applications on the client, or that is otherwise shared among applications of the client. The acceleration program maintains the transport layer connection open to reduce the number of transport layer connection requests and number of transport layer connections established with the server for an application or multiple applications running on the client.

17. A system for accelerating access by the client to one or more servers by pooling on the client one or more transport layer connections to the server, the system comprising:
-
means for intercepting, by an acceleration program on the client, a first request by a first application to establish a first transport layer connection with a server;
means for establishing, by the acceleration program, a transport layer connection between the acceleration program and the server;
means for intercepting, by the acceleration program, a second request by a second application to establish a second transport layer connection with the server; and
means for using, by the acceleration program, the established transport layer connection to provide the requested transport layer connection for the second application. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
