Managing data throughput in a distributed endpoint network

Abstract:

A system and method for management of communications for components of a global accelerator system is provided. The global accelerator system includes client devices communicating with a global access point via a public network to access various endpoints that can host services. In turn, a global access point communicates to various endpoints, which are organized into different data centers, via a private network. The global access point creates and manages separate TCP connections between the client and global access point and the client and endpoint to improve latency experienced by clients. Additionally, each TCP connection can be managed by specifying different congestion control and windowing parameters to leverage higher throughput between the global access point and a selected endpoint.
