Embodiments of the current disclosure provide for a method for accelerating webpage rendering. The method includes: identifying a resource used in a first visit to a webpage, where the webpage is hosted at a first-party domain; determining that the resource has an address value structured to cause a client computing device to obtain the resource from a third-party domain; and generating a computer-readable modification instruction that modifies the address value for the resource, where the modified address value is structured to cause the client computing device to obtain the resource from the first-party domain for a second visit to the webpage.
In anticipation of a client device establishing a connection over a network with a remote host service, a pre-connect module generates a connection request (referred to herein as a “pre-connect request”) on behalf of the client device and sends the pre-connect request to the remote host server. The remote server responds with a connection response (referred to herein as a “pre-connect response”), which is pre-positioned on the client-side of the network along with information for generating a later connection request that is in material respects the same as the pre-connect request. Then, when the client device later seeks to establish a connection with the remote host server, the client device determines whether it has in local storage generation information for generating a connection request to the remote host server. If so, the client device uses the generation information to generate a connection request that is in material respects the same as the pre-connect request. An interceptor on the client-side of the network intercepts connection requests and determines whether a corresponding pre-connect response is locally stored. If so, the interceptor sends the locally stored pre-connect response as a complete response to the intercepted request, which can be discarded.

Embodiments seek to improve prefetch hinting using time-dependent, machine-generated hints. Some embodiments operate in context of client machines in communication hinting machines that can develop information about whether and how resources are used in network transactions over time by collecting “resource samples.” Each resource sample can identify rendering status information of a resource at a sample time. The time-based samples can be used to compute time-based probabilities for the resources, indicating, for example, the likelihood of a resource being used to render a web page at some subsequent time. Time-dependent hints can be generated as a function of the time-based probabilities, and the time-dependent hints can be used to improve prefetching by optimizing the hinting information with respect to a particular request time (e.g., the prefetching hints for rendering a web page can be generated in a manner that accounts for when the web page is being rendered).

SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND APPARATUSES FOR IDENTIFYING SIGNIFICANT WEBPAGE EVENTS AND TUNING WEB BROWSER HINTS
Webpage performance is optimized with techniques that identify essential resources needed for rendering significant events and optimizing hints for the essential resources.
Web page loading may be improved by leveraging structural similarities across pages within a domain. Web pages are categorized into page types, and representative samples are analyzed to identify common and unique blocking resources. Real user monitoring data is used to refine these resource lists. When a page is requested, predicted blocking resources are used to generate optimization hints, improving loading performance and scalability for large websites.

The present disclosure relates to prefetching dynamic URLs. For example, one disclosed method includes the steps of receiving breadcrumb information from a first client device, the breadcrumb information comprising a dynamic URL, a dynamically-generated value, and an indication of a method of generating the dynamically-generated value; determining a template for the dynamic URL based on the dynamically-generated value and the method of generating the dynamically-generated value; receiving a request for a hint for the URL; and in response to receiving the request for the hint from a second client device, transmitting the template for the dynamic URL to the second client device.

Embodiments seek to protect privacy of potentially sensitive client resources in web transactions using crowd-disambiguation. Crowd-disambiguation machines can aggregate information about resources from multiple clients as resource fingerprints, and can use the fingerprints to provide crowd-sourced services in a privacy-protected manner. For example, embodiments can communicate a resource fingerprint as a fully ambiguated resource instance (FARI) and a partially disambiguated resource instance (PDRI). When one (or few) clients communicates the resource fingerprint, the identity of the resource remains obfuscated from the crowd-disambiguation machine. As more clients communicate fingerprints for the same resource (e.g., identified by the matching FARIs), respective, differently generated PDRIs of those fingerprints enable the crowd-disambiguation machine to resolve further portions of the resource, ultimately permitting the resource to be revealed and considered non-private (e.g., for use in hint generation or other crowd-sourced services).

Once resolved, a random-value universal resource locator (RV-URL) identifies a resource on a host server and constitutes an instruction to a local device executing a network transaction to fetch the resource. Embodiments of the invention resolve and pre-fetch an RV-URL from a remote host server and then pre-position, on a client-side of a communications link to the remote server, both resolution information indicating how the RV-URL was resolved and the pre-fetched resource. Later, when the client device is executing a network transaction and encounters an RV-URL, the client device determines whether resolution information for the RV-URL is locally stored. If so, the client device uses the resolution information to resolve the RV-URL to the same value that was used during pre-fetch. The client device then sends a request for the resolved RV-URL. The request is intercepted on the client-side of the communications link, where it is determined whether a locally cached pre-fetched resource corresponds to the intercepted request. If so, the locally cached pre-fetched resource is provided to the local device as a complete response to the request, which can then be discarded.

Methods, apparatuses, and systems for improving utilization of a communications system (e.g., a satellite communications system) are provided, using delayed reliability techniques as part of a multicast transport protocol. Embodiments may operate in a client-server context, in which the server-side of the communication link multicasts data to requesting users and to users where the data is being speculatively prepositioned. Requesting users may implement reliability checks to verify receipt of complete data in response to the request while user systems where data is being speculatively prepositioned may receive multicast reliability information in response to reliability requests from other users, but may not request replacement of missing or corrupted data themselves until a request is made for the data by that system.

In anticipation of a client device establishing a connection over a network with a remote host service, a pre-connect module generates a connection request (referred to herein as a “pre-connect request”) on behalf of the client device and sends the pre-connect request to the remote host server. The remote server responds with a connection response (referred to herein as a “pre-connect response”), which is pre-positioned on the client-side of the network along with information for generating a later connection request that is in material respects the same as the pre-connect request. Then, when the client device later seeks to establish a connection with the remote host server, the client device determines whether it has in local storage generation information for generating a connection request to the remote host server. If so, the client device uses the generation information to generate a connection request that is in material respects the same as the pre-connect request. An interceptor on the client-side of the network intercepts connection requests and determines whether a corresponding pre-connect response is locally stored. If so, the interceptor sends the locally stored pre-connect response as a complete response to the intercepted request, which can be discarded.

Accelerating hint information in web page transactions
Accelerating hint information in web page transactions is described. A root request is observed as part of a web page transaction and hint information is retrieved responsive to observing the root request. The hint information includes child object identifiers associated with the root object for the client system to prefetch prior to loading the root object. Prior to observing a response to the root request, the hint information is provided to the client system.

Embodiments seek to improve web page loading time using server-machine-driven hint generation for based on client-machine-driven feedback. For example, client computers having page renderers are in communication with content servers and hinting processors. The hinting processors can use hinting feedback from multiple page rendering instances to automatically generate hints for optimizing loading and/or rendering of those pages. In some implementations, in response to page requests from the page renderers, content servers can request hints from hinting processors and send those hints to the requesting page renderers for use in improving the page loading experience. In other implementations, in response to page requests from the page renderers, content servers can instruct the requesting page renderers to contact an appropriate hinting processor and to retrieve appropriate hints therefrom for use in improving the page loading experience.
Embodiments seek to protect privacy of potentially sensitive client resources in web transactions using crowd-disambiguation. Crowd-disambiguation machines can aggregate information about resources from multiple clients as resource fingerprints, and can use the fingerprints to provide crowd-sourced services in a privacy-protected manner. For example, embodiments can communicate a resource fingerprint as a fully ambiguated resource instance (FARI) and a partially disambiguated resource instance (PDRI). When one (or few) clients communicates the resource fingerprint, the identity of the resource remains obfuscated from the crowd-disambiguation machine. As more clients communicate fingerprints for the same resource (e.g., identified by the matching FARIs), respective, differently generated PDRIs of those fingerprints enable the crowd-disambiguation machine to resolve further portions of the resource, ultimately permitting the resource to be revealed and considered non-private (e.g., for use in hint generation or other crowd-sourced services).

Utilizing page information regarding a prior loading of a web page to generate hinting information for improving load time of a future loading of the web page
Embodiments of the invention include methods in which a browsing assistance module receives page information regarding a prior loading of a web page by a first web browser. The first web browser can be one of a plurality of web browsers in communication with the browsing assistance module. The page information can identify child universal resource locators (URLs) fetched by the first web browser as part of the prior loading of the web page. The browsing assistance module can then generate hinting information from the page information. The hinting information can comprise page loading instructions, which can aid the web browsers shorten a load time of a future loading of the web page. The hinting information can be stored in association with an identification of the web page. The web browsers can download the hinting information in conjunction with a future loading of the web page or a related web page by the web browsers.
The present invention relates to systems, apparatus, and methods of scanning a response to a first HTTP request for a web page in order to identify a web object for prefetching, and using a static tracker to identify and improve results. In one potential alternative embodiment, after a response is scanned a web object may be prefetched to a proxy server prior to a browser requesting the web object. The proxy server may observe one or more HTTP requests that are associated with the response to the first HTTP request for the web page and measure the success of the prefetching. After success is measured for the specific instance of the web object and the web page, a success rate for prefetching or not prefetching the web object as associated with the web page may be updated.

Hint model updating using automated browsing clusters
Embodiments seek to improve prefetch hinting by using automated browsing clusters to generate and update hinting models used for machine-generated hints. For example, hinting machines can include browsing clusters that autonomously fetch web pages in response to update triggers (e.g., client web page requests, scheduled web crawling, etc.) and generate timing and/or other hinting-related feedback relating to which resources were used to load the fetched web pages. The hinting machines can use the hinting feedback to generate and/or update hinting models, which can be used for machine-generation of hints. Some embodiments can provide preliminary hinting functionality in response to client hinting requests, for example, when hinting models for a requested page are insufficient (e.g., unavailable, outdated, etc.). For example, without having a sufficient hinting model in place, the hinting machine can fetch the page to generate preliminary hinting feedback, which it can use to machine-generate preliminary hints.

In anticipation of a client device establishing a connection over a network with a remote host service, a pre-connect module generates a connection request (referred to herein as a “pre-connect request”) on behalf of the client device and sends the pre-connect request to the remote host server. The remote server responds with a connection response (referred to herein as a “pre-connect response”), which is pre-positioned on the client-side of the network along with information for generating a later connection request that is in material respects the same as the pre-connect request. Then, when the client device later seeks to establish a connection with the remote host server, the client device determines whether it has in local storage generation information for generating a connection request to the remote host server. If so, the client device uses the generation information to generate a connection request that is in material respects the same as the pre-connect request. An interceptor on the client-side of the network intercepts connection requests and determines whether a corresponding pre-connect response is locally stored. If so, the interceptor sends the locally stored pre-connect response as a complete response to the intercepted request, which can be discarded.

Embodiments seek to improve prefetch hinting using time-dependent, machine-generated hints. Some embodiments operate in context of client machines in communication hinting machines that can develop information about whether and how resources are used in network transactions over time by collecting “resource samples.” Each resource sample can identify rendering status information of a resource at a sample time. The time-based samples can be used to compute time-based probabilities for the resources, indicating, for example, the likelihood of a resource being used to render a web page at some subsequent time. Time-dependent hints can be generated as a function of the time-based probabilities, and the time-dependent hints can be used to improve prefetching by optimizing the hinting information with respect to a particular request time (e.g., the prefetching hints for rendering a web page can be generated in a manner that accounts for when the web page is being rendered).

Machine-driven crowd-disambiguation of data resources
Embodiments use crowd disambiguation techniques to protect the privacy of potentially sensitive client resources in web transactions. Crowd disambiguation servers can aggregate information about resources, such as URLs, accessed by clients, in the form of resource fingerprints submitted by the clients. Said resource fingerprints can be used to provide crowd-sourced services in a privacy-protected manner. For example, in some embodiments a fingerprint of a URL visited by a client can be communicated to the server as both a fully ambiguated resource instance (FARI) and a partially disambiguated resource instance (PDRI). When only one client, or a limited number of clients, has communicated a certain resource fmgerprint, the underlying identity of the resource, in this case the URL, remains obfuscated from the crowd disambiguation server, which lacks sufficient information to reconstruct it. As more clients communicate fmgerprints for the same resource (as identified, for example, by the FARIs), the corresponding PDRIs, which are different from client to client, enable the crowd disambiguation server to gradually reconstruct further portions of the resource, ultimately permitting the entire resource to be reconstructed. In that case, the resource is considered non-private, and can be further used e.g., in hint generation or other crowd-sourced services.

Once resolved, a random-value universal resource locator (RV-URL) identifies a resource on a host server and constitutes an instruction to a local device executing a network transaction to fetch the resource. Embodiments of the invention resolve and pre-fetch an RV-URL from a remote host server and then pre-position, on a client-side of a communications link to the remote server, both resolution information indicating how the RV-URL was resolved and the pre-fetched resource. Later, when the client device is executing a network transaction and encounters an RV-URL, the client device determines whether resolution information for the RV-URL is locally stored. If so, the client device uses the resolution information to resolve the RV-URL to the same value that was used during pre-fetch. The client device then sends a request for the resolved RV-URL. The request is intercepted on the client-side of the communications link, where it is determined whether a locally cached pre-fetched resource corresponds to the intercepted request. If so, the locally cached pre-fetched resource is provided to the local device as a complete response to the request, which can then be discarded.

Furthermore, the method may include identifying a prefetchable reference to the fetched object in a subsequent web page and using the caching instructions stored on the proxy server to determine if a fresh copy of the object will be requested by the client. Further, the method may include, based on the determination that the object will be requested, sending a prefetch request for the object using an If-Modified-Since directive, and transmitting a response to the If-Modified-Since directive prefetch request to a proxy client. The proxy client may then either serve the response to the client or a copy of the object stored at the proxy client, depending on the request for the object from the client.
In anticipation of a client device establishing a connection over a network with a remote host service, a pre-connect module generates a connection request (referred to herein as a "pre-connect request") on behalf of the client device and sends the pre-connect request to the remote host server. The remote server responds with a connection response (referred to herein as a "pre-connect response"), which is pre-positioned on the client-side of the network along with information for generating a later connection request that is in material respects the same as the pre-connect request. Then, when the client device later seeks to establish a connection with the remote host server, the client device determines whether it has in local storage generation information for generating a connection request to the remote host server. If so, the client device uses the generation information to generate a connection request that is in material respects the same as the pre-connect request. An interceptor on the client-side of the network intercepts connection requests and determines whether a corresponding pre-connect response is locally stored. If so, the interceptor sends the locally stored pre-connect response as a complete response to the intercepted request, which can be discarded.

Embodiments seek to improve prefetch hinting using time-dependent, machine-generated hints. Some embodiments operate in context of client machines in communication hinting machines that can develop information about whether and how resources are used in network transactions over time by collecting "resource samples." Each resource sample can identify rendering status information of a resource at a sample time. The time-based samples can be used to compute time-based probabilities for the resources, indicating, for example, the likelihood of a resource being used to render a web page at some subsequent time. Time-dependent hints can be generated as a function of the time-based probabilities, and the time-dependent hints can be used to improve prefetching by optimizing the hinting information with respect to a particular request time (e.g., the prefetching hints for rendering a web page can be generated in a manner that accounts for when the web page is being rendered).

The present invention relates to systems, apparatus, and methods of parsing a script within an HTML page. The method includes receiving a script object, where the script object includes text. The method further includes parsing the text of the script object for tokens and comparing the parsed tokens with a valid tokens list to determine locations within the text of the script object that include potential universal resource locators (URLs). The method includes parsing before and after the determined locations until complete URLs are constructed, and forwarding the complete URLs to a detector. The detector then determines whether the complete URLs are valid. The method then sends object retrieval requests to websites associated with the valid complete URLs.

Embodiments seek to improve prefetch hinting by using automated browsing clusters to generate and update hinting models used for machine-generated hints. For example, hinting machines can include browsing clusters that autonomously fetch web pages in response to update triggers (e.g., client web page requests, scheduled web crawling, etc.) and generate timing and/or other hinting-related feedback relating to which resources were used to load the fetched web pages. The hinting machines can use the hinting feedback to generate and/or update hinting models, which can be used for machine-generation of hints. Some embodiments can provide preliminary hinting functionality in response to client hinting requests, for example, when hinting models for a requested page are insufficient (e.g., unavailable, outdated, etc.). For example, without having a sufficient hinting model in place, the hinting machine can fetch the page to generate preliminary hinting feedback, which it can use to machine-generate preliminary hints.
The present invention relates to systems, apparatus, and methods for improving web transactions using cache hints. In various embodiments, cache hints may be information for optimizing and extending the use of cached objects based on web transaction information from system users. This may enable indirect updates to caching directives, and may allow a proxy to respond to If-None-Match or If-Modified-Since requests using information from cache hints instead of prefetched information from a content provider.

ACCELERATION OF ONLINE CERTIFICATE STATUS CHECKING WITH AN INTERNET HINTING SERVICE
Examples for acceleration of online certificate status checking with an Internet hinting service are disclosed.

Embodiments use crowd disambiguation techniques to protect the privacy of potentially sensitive client resources in web transactions. Crowd disambiguation servers can aggregate information about resources, such as URLs, accessed by clients, in the form of resource fingerprints submitted by the clients. Said resource fingerprints can be used to provide crowd-sourced services in a privacy-protected manner. For example, in some embodiments a fingerprint of a URL visited by a client can be communicated to the server as both a fully ambiguated resource instance (FARI) and a partially disambiguated resource instance (PDRI). When only one client, or a limited number of clients, has communicated a certain resource fingerprint, the underlying identity of the resource, in this case the URL, remains obfuscated from the crowd disambiguation server, which lacks sufficient information to reconstruct it. As more clients communicate fingerprints for the same resource (as identified, for example, by the FARIs), the corresponding PDRIs, which are different from client to client, enable the crowd disambiguation server to gradually reconstruct further portions of the resource, ultimately permitting the entire resource to be reconstructed. In that case, the resource is considered non-private, and can be further used e.g., in hint generation or other crowd-sourced services.
The present disclosure relates to prefetching dynamic URLs. For example, one disclosed method includes the steps of receiving breadcrumb information from a first client device, the breadcrumb information comprising a dynamic URL, a dynamically-generated value, and an indication of a method of generating the dynamically-generated value; determining a template for the dynamic URL based on the dynamically-generated value and the method of generating the dynamically-generated value; receiving a request for a hint for the URL; and in response to receiving the request for the hint from a second client device, transmitting the template for the dynamic URL to the second client device.

Embodiments described herein relate to systems and methods for local name resolution in network communications. Particular embodiments may enable a device resolution request to include a name that identifies the user device issuing the resolution request. A proxy server may accept the resolution request, and respond with a service internet protocol address that is customized to that user device, such that compatible user devices on the same local area network will each receive a different service IP address. When the proxy server receives traffic on a particular service IP address from a local area network, the proxy server may identify the compatible device even if a network address translation device has adjusted the requesting IP address for the device. Particular implementations may enable acceleration of HTTPS communications by the proxy server, or other such benefits.

The present invention relates to systems, apparatus, and methods of scanning a response to a first HTTP request for a web page in order to identify a web object for prefetching, and using a static tracker to identify and improve results. In one potential alternative embodiment, after a response is scanned a web object may be prefetched to a proxy server prior to a browser requesting the web object. The proxy server may observe one or more HTTP requests that are associated with the response to the first HTTP request for the web page and measure the success of the prefetching. After success is measured for the specific instance of the web object and the web page, a success rate for prefetching or not prefetching the web object as associated with the web page may be updated.
The present invention relates to systems, apparatus, and methods of using real user history data to improve prefetching for a web page transaction. In one potential embodiment a method includes a proxy server observing a first web page transaction that has a first root HTTP request, a first root HTTP response, at least one child HTTP request, and at least one child HTTP response. The server may then extract a parameter from the web page transaction and correlating the parameter with the child HTTP request. In a later web page transaction, the parameter may be used to predict the child HTTP being requested even when the web page transactions are different.

The present invention relates to systems, apparatus, and methods of enhancing prefetcher functionality by scanning responses object requests. In certain embodiments, prefetching is improved by identifying references to container objects or sections of container objects at a proxy server. When URLs are identified as part of a container object, a prefetching determination or adjustment to a prefetching decision is made according to the identification of the reference for a subset of URLs identified by the reference to the container object. For example, prefetching of URLs located in cascading style sheet (CSS) files may be restricted to a subset of URLs which are identified by a CSS rule.

The present invention relates to systems, apparatus, and methods of modeling a hierarchical object relationship in a hypertext mark-up language (HTML) context. In some embodiments, a probabilistic determination is made of parentage of content objects being requested over a communications system. In certain embodiments, the content objects are intercepted by a proxy server as part of a prefetching system. When parentage is uncertain, a system may identify a plurality of nodes that are potential parent/root nodes for the content object, associate a likelihood with each parent/root node, and establish a potential parent/root node as the parent for the purposes of a prefetching. Various embodiments use referrers where reliable, supplemented or supplanted by other techniques (e.g., “rootable” URL determinations) to model the object hierarchies and parent/root relationships.

A profile-based scheduler is disclosed. In other embodiments, the profile-based scheduler may profile previously accessed websites and/or FTP sites. In doing so, the profile may compile bandwidth requirements for all such profiled websites and/or FTP sites within a lookup table. When a website and/or FTP site is accessed, the profiler may grant the bandwidth associated with the website or FTP site within the lookup table. In some embodiments, the profiler may create entries not only based on websites and/or FTP sites but may also profile users, TCP connections, web browser configurations and/or web browser types.
Embodiments seek to improve web page loading time using server-machine-driven hint generation for based on client-machine-driven feedback. For example, client computers having page renderers are in communication with content servers and hinting processors. The hinting processors can use hinting feedback from multiple page rendering instances to automatically generate hints for optimizing loading and/or rendering of those pages. In some implementations, in response to page requests from the page renderers, content servers can request hints from hinting processors and send those hints to the requesting page renderers for use in improving the page loading experience. In other implementations, in response to page requests from the page renderers, content servers can instruct the requesting page renderers to contact an appropriate hinting processor and to retrieve appropriate hints therefrom for use in improving the page loading experience.
The present invention relates to systems, apparatus, and methods of accelerating web transactions.

A web browser module may be used to identify transaction information from the observing of the at least a portion of the first web page transaction. The browser may communicates transaction information to a prefetching system in a communication separate from the first web page transaction; and the transaction information may be used to perform a prefetch operation.

Systems and methods are described for event-driven predictive scheduling of a return link of a communications system. Embodiments detect an event (e.g., a packet) on a forward link that may indicate future usage of the return link. The event is then associated with an event model that characterizes the event, and the event model is further associated with a predictive model. Scheduling of the return link is implemented and/or adjusted according to the predictive model. For example, return link allocations are adjusted by one or more amounts (e.g., one or more grants are allocated or bandwidth is adjusted by a certain amount) and at one or more designated timing offsets according to the predictive model. According to various embodiments, the predictive model is generated by tracking feedback from the return link and/or by scanning packets on the forward link.

Optimizer-to-link layer interface using dynamic buffering
Systems and methods are described for communicating overhead data in a way that complies with applicable protocols while using return-link bandwidth more efficiently, for example, by providing a shared memory at an interface between lower layers and higher layers of a protocol stack. In one exemplary configuration, a shared dynamic buffer is provided at the interface between a closely coupled client optimizer and link layer of a user system. For example, the dynamic buffer is used to supplement or replace the FIFO queue typically at the interface between Layers 2 and 3 of the OSI protocol stack for the TCP protocol. The client optimizer continually and efficiently maintains current status data in the shared memory (e.g., ACK or NACK data, FEC data, partial packets, etc.). This status data can be uploaded by the link layer according to upload bandwidth allowances granted by a protocol partner.
The present invention relates to systems and methods of enhancing prefetch operations. One potential method comprises fetching an object from a page on a web server. The method may further include storing, at a proxy server, caching instructions for the fetched object. The proxy server may be connected with the client and the object is cached at the client. Furthermore, the method may include identifying a prefetchable reference to the fetched object in a subsequent web page and using the caching instructions stored on the proxy server to determine if a fresh copy of the object will be requested by the client. Further, the method may include, based on the determination that the object will be requested, sending a prefetch request for the object using an If-Modified-Since directive, and transmitting a response to the If-Modified-Since directive prefetch request to a proxy client. The proxy client may then either serve the response to the client or a copy of the object stored at the proxy client, depending on the request for the object from the client.

Systems and methods are described for accelerating a user experience involving transactions with a remote file server by identifying and prefetching simple message block (SMB) requests. Embodiments exploit applications' usage of certain SMB request offset value patterns to reliably prefetch SMB requests. Requests from a user to a remote file server are intercepted by a proxy server disposed in the communications network relatively local to the file server. When a known SMB request offset value is detected and other conditions are met, a set of other SMB request offset values is prefetched by the proxy server according to a predetermined pattern. These prefetched requests may be sent, along with the original request, in a single transaction over the communications link from the proxy server to the requesting user (e.g., via a proxy client associated with the requesting user).

The present invention relates to systems, apparatus, and methods of determining whether to abort a prefetch operation. Embodiments include accumulator functionality for accumulating object data prior to making an abort determination. Certain embodiments compress the accumulated data to more accurately reflect the cost of pushing the data to the client as part of the prefetch operation. Accumulation and/or compression of the data may provide sufficient data relating to the size of the object to make a useful prefetch abort determination, even where the size of the object cannot be otherwise determined (e.g., from the object data header). Other embodiments store accumulated data (e.g., in compressed or uncompressed form) for use in further optimizing prefetch operations. For example, if an accumulated prefetch is aborted before the object is forwarded to the client, and the client later requests the object, the object may be pushed to the client from server-side storage, rather than retrieving (e.g., and compressing) the object from the content server redundantly.

Methods and systems for peer-to-peer app-level performance enhancing protocol (PEP)
The present invention relates to methods, apparatus, and systems for providing peer-to-peer network acceleration. The system includes content servers and clients. Each of the clients is capable of functioning as a proxy server. A client generates a request for content, and the requesting client determines which of the content servers contains the requested content. The requesting client then determines that one of the clients is in a position to retrieve the requested content on the content server at lower latency than the requesting client. The client then functions as a proxy server for the requesting client, and the requesting client receives the requested content from the client acting as a proxy server.
