Abstract
Example methods are provided for a first endpoint to communicate with a second endpoint over a public network, the second endpoint being in a private network. The method may comprise detecting a chunk of data directly from an application executing on the first endpoint. The virtual adapter may emulate a transport protocol task offload to bypass transport protocol processing by a protocol stack of the first endpoint. The method may comprise processing the chunk of data to generate a chunk of processed data for transfer through a tunnel connecting the virtual adapter over the public network with a gateway associated with the private network and sending the chunk of processed data through a tunnel in a plurality of tunnel segments, wherein the gateway is configured to perform transport protocol processing to generate a plurality of transport protocol segments from the chunk of processed data for transfer to the second endpoint.
