1. A method for communicating an Internet message between a source and a destination over the Internet, comprising:

  • selecting a node of a first type;

    selecting a node of a second type;

    communicating a network address of the selected node of a first type to the source;

    communicating a network address of the selected node of a second type to the selected node of a first type;

    receiving an Internet message from the source at the selected node of a first type using a first communication protocol;

    communicating the Internet message from the selected node of a first type to the selected node of a second type using a second communication protocol; and

    communicating the Internet message from the selected node of a second type to the destination using a third communication protocol;

    wherein the first communication protocol and the third communication protocol are each a standard TCP over IP communication protocol, and the second communication protocol is a modified TCP over IP protocol to provide high performance over the second communication protocol, andwherein the selected node of a first type and the selected node of a second type are selected to optimize a measure of communications performance for a sub-link between the source and the node of a first type, a sub-link between the node of a first type and the node of a second type, and a sub-link between the node of a second type and the destination.
