Abstract
Protocol acceleration is performed between clients and servers over a network wherein transport connections are established between clients/servers and/or their proxies for acceleration of traffic that uses certain protocols. A first transport connection for a first application protocol and a second transport connection for a second application protocol can be made between two proxies, wherein a client-side proxy is in communication with a client and a server-side proxy is in communication with a server, and the proxies use information from message payloads flowing between the client device and the server device over the first transport connection for acceleration of traffic over the second transport connection. Examples of transport protocols include a file server protocol and a storage access protocol. Cross-protocol acceleration can be expanded so that information obtained for one client on one protocol can be used to accelerate traffic for another client with the same or different protocol.
