Abstract
The performance of TCP (and other protocols) is improved in a data network by segmenting the TCP path and implementing a protocol over the network. The protocol provides a multiplexed tunnel for a multiplicity of TCP sessions from a client to a cloud proxy. The protocol implements congestion management, flow control, reliability, and link monitoring. Other network protocols (such as UDP) are supported with a reliability protocol based upon network coding that improves the transmission reliability.
