1. Method for a fast performance of network operations via a network having high delay times by means of a module for processing a system call of an application layer and for initiating network operations of a network layer, comprising:

  • transmission of the system call to the module, determination of an execution mode of the system call by differentiating between a blocking and a non-blocking execution mode, and direct return of a logical value to the application layer and initiation of a network operation in the case of a non-blocking execution mode, wherein, upon the initiation of the network operation, a blocking system call is interpreted by the module as a non-blocking system call, in which an actual result of the system call executed in a partner instance is awaited, without blocking execution of the calling application.
