Abstract
A gateway system employing a redirect mechanism at upper layer protocols over Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) in a packet network to circumvent problems related to alteration of TCP sequence number due to header enrichment. The gateway system increases the size of a redirect message by the size of the header enrichment and thereby brings TCP sequence number on both ends in sync despite adding the header enrichment information.
