Abstract

A method of routing communications over a network includes routing the communications to an intermediate destination, for example, a “universal proxy,” using a first transport control protocol (TCP), and then routing the communications from the intermediate destination to a recipient using a second TCP. The intermediate destination optionally masks the source when transmitting information to the recipient, and performs packet loss recovery. Optionally, the second TCP includes TCP acceleration not utilized by the first TCP.
