Abstract
A method and apparatus for route aware network link acceleration provides a managed communication channel for accelerated and reliable network communication between a client and other network devices as needed. The communication channel may comprise one or more segments having increased speed, reliability, security, or other improved characteristics as compared to traditional communication links. Network traffic may be routed through one or more of the segments based on various criteria to improve communication of the traffic. In one embodiment, the segments may be arranged in a daisy chain configuration and be provided by one or more chaining nodes.
