Abstract
In a typical remote access application, such as access from the home to a packet-switched high speed network such as the Internet, the low-speed dial up connection to a network access is the main bottleneck in terms of the bandwidth and efficiency of transfer of data across the network access server. The present invention increases throughput through the network access server by identifying and dropping redundant, e.g., retransmitted, packets en route from the LAN or WAN to the remote terminal, thereby preserving precious bandwidth.
