Systems and methods for providing client-side accelerated access to remote applications via tcp buffering

Abstract

The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for dynamically deploying and executing acceleration functionality on a client to improve the performance and delivery of remotely accessed applications. In one embodiment, the client-side acceleration functionality is provided by an acceleration program that performs a transport layer connection buffering technique for improving performance of communications and delivery of a remotely-accessed application. The acceleration program establishes a transport layer connection from the client to the server and buffers requests of the client based on determining a difference between a rate of consumption of responses received by the client from a server and a rate of production of requests transmitted by the client to the server. As such, the acceleration program can throttle transmissions of the client if the client's rate of consumption falls behind the rate of submission of requests.
