1. A method for communicating a lossy protocol via a transport control protocol, the method comprising:

  • (a) intercepting, by an agent executing on a device, a transport control protocol (TCP) packet to be transmitted by the device;

    (b) detecting, by the agent, that the transport control protocol (TCP) packet has a payload comprising a lossy protocol;

    (c) communicating to a network stack of the device, by the agent responsive to the detection of the lossy protocol of the payload, an acknowledgement of receipt of the TCP packet prior to communicating the TCP packet from the device, wherein the acknowledgement of receipt of the TCP packet prevents the network stack from retransmitting the TCP packet; and

    (d) transmitting, by the agent, the TCP packet from the device.
