Abstract
A communication apparatus for remote communication may include a local transparent proxy module configured to intercept a first stream destined to a remote destination and configured to make a first determination whether to accelerate communication associated with the first stream. The communication apparatus may include a local proxy module configured to receive the first stream based on the first determination and configured to make a second determination whether a connection to a remote proxy module is established. If the connection is established, then the local proxy module may receive one or more additional streams and may direct the one or more additional streams to the remote proxy module utilizing an accelerated mode. If the connection is not established, then the local transparent proxy module may direct the first stream to the remote destination utilizing a non-accelerated mode. A machine-readable medium and a method are also disclosed.
