Processing data packets in performance enhancing proxy (PEP) environment
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for processing network packets, the method comprising:
- receiving network data to be transported between a first Performance Enhancing Proxy (PEP) and a second PEP, the network data being segmented in two or more original network data packets;
removing a header from each of the two or more original network data packets;
collecting packet identifying data associated with the two or more original network packets from the removed header before the network data is packetized into one or more performance enhanced packets by the first PEP, the packet identifying data comprising information regarding the segmentation of the network data into the two or more original network data packets;
transmitting the one or more performance enhanced packets from the first PEP to the second PEP;
transmitting the packet identifying data to the second PEP; and
recreating by the second PEP the original packet segmentation of the network data upon receiving the packet identifying data and the performance enhanced packets from the first PEP, wherein the recreating comprises retrieving information about each length of the two or more original network data packets from the packet identifying data.

Abstract
Methods and systems for processing network packets within a Performance Enhancing Proxy (PEP) environment are described. An example method comprises receiving network data to be transported between a first PEP and a second PEP. The network data is segmented in one or more original network packets. The method may further comprise collecting packet identifying data associated with the one or more original network packets before the network data is packetized into one or more performance enhanced packets by the first PEP. The method may further comprise transmitting the identifying data to the second PEP. Upon receiving of the identifying data, the second PEP may recreate the segmentation of the original network data.

11. A system for processing network packets, the system comprising:
-
a first module, stored in memory and executed by at least one processor, that receives network data to be transported between a first Performance Enhancing Proxy (PEP) and a second PEP, the network data being segmented into two or more original network data packets; a second module, stored in memory and executed by the at least one processor, that removes a header from each of the two or more original network data packets and collects packet identifying data associated with the two or more original network data packets from the removed header before the network data is packetized into one or more performance enhanced packets by the first PEP, the packet identifying data comprising data regarding the segmentation of the network data into the two or more original network data packets; a third module, stored in memory and executed by the at least one processor, that transmits the packet identifying data to the second PEP and transmits the one or more performance enhanced packets to the second PEP; and a fourth module, stored in memory and executed by the at least one processor, that recreates the original packet segmentation of the network data upon receiving the packet identifying data and the one or more performance enhanced packets by; retrieving information about each length of the two or more original network data packets from the packet identifying data. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by one or more computers, causes the one or more computers to:
-
receive network data to be transported between a first Performance Enhancing Proxy (PEP) and a second PEP, the network data being segmented in two or more original network data packets; remove a header from each of the two or more original network data packets and collect packet identifying data associated with the two or more original network data packets from the removed header before the network data is packetized into one or more performance enhanced packets by the first PEP, the packet identifying data comprising data regarding the segmentation of the network data into the two or more original network data packets; and transmit the packet identifying data and the one or more performance enhanced packets to the second PEP so that the second PEP can reproduce the original packet segmentation of the network data upon receiving the packet identifying data and the one or more performance enhanced packets from the first PEP based on information about each length of the two or more original network data packets from the packet identifying data.
