Techniques for providing mobile device content delivery acceleration for mobile applications are discussed herein. Some embodiments may provide for a mobile accelerator system including a plurality of point-of-presences (POPs) and a control tower system. The control tower system may be configured to control mobile data transfer acceleration between a mobile device and the content server via the plurality of POPs of the mobile accelerator system. Each mobile application executing on the mobile device may be registered, validated, and then associated with a device POP that forms a dedicated connection with an entry POP of the plurality of POPs. Mobile data transfer acceleration for each mobile application may be selectively activated or deactivated, such as based on user configurations at the application level, domain name level, and/or country level.

Mobile application accelerator

A mobile accelerator system includes point of presences (POPs) that includes an entry POP. The entry POP receives a query to a content server from a mobile device via a dedicated transport channel. The entry POP determines a direct connection score for a direct connection between the mobile device and the content server that does not traverse the mobile accelerator system. The entry POP determines a POP connection score for a connection between the mobile device and the content server through the entry POP and a candidate exit POP. The entry POP determines a dynamic path ranking based on the direct connection score, the POP connection score, and other POP connection score(s) associated with other candidate exit POP(s). The entry POP determines at least a portion of a dynamic path between the mobile device based on the dynamic path ranking and routes data transfers through that dynamic path.

Mobile accelerator

Techniques that provide for intelligent routing of mobile device traffic using custom protocols or protocols that are otherwise unsuitable for optimization by a mobile accelerator system are discussed herein. Some embodiments may include a point-of-presence (POP) configured to manage a dynamic listing defining a listing of content server associated with traffic that is not suitable for being optimized. Upon receiving traffic from the content server, the POP may be configured to access the dynamic filter, and route data transfers between the mobile device and the content server to bypass the mobile accelerator system when indicated by the dynamic filter. The POP may be further configured to update the dynamic filter, such as by adding or removing content servers based on parsing associated traffic for optimization suitability and/or protocol use.

Software defined dynamic filtering

Techniques for providing mobile device content delivery acceleration are discussed herein. Some embodiments may provide for a system including a mobile device and a mobile accelerator system. The mobile accelerator system may include point of presences ('POPs') configured to facilitate accelerated content delivery to the mobile device from a content server. For example, the mobile device may be configured to: determine an entry POP from POPs of a mobile accelerator system; and create a dedicated transport channel with the entry POP. The entry POP of the mobile accelerator system may be configured to: receive a query to a content server from the mobile device via the dedicated transport channel; determine at least a portion a dynamic path between the mobile device and the content server; and route data transfers between the mobile device and the content server through the at least a portion of the dynamic path.
