Abstract

A system, medium and method of automatically discovering a wide area network optimized route is disclosed. A client request is received at a second optimization device to access a server. The second optimization device is of a second local area network with respect to a wide area network (WAN) and is configured to communicate with the server. A probe request is received at the second optimization device from a first optimization device of a first local area network. The probe request establishes an optimization route with the first optimization device. A probe response is sent to the first optimization device, wherein the probe response provides identifying information of the second optimization device. A paired relationship is established, wherein configuration information of the first and second optimization devices are exchanged. An optimization route based on the configuration information is exchanged between the paired first and second optimization devices.
