SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR LATENCY MASKING VIA PREFIX CACHING

Abstract:

Systems and methods for latency masking via prefix caching, by providing a recorded output of launch of a network application to a client device from a point closer to client device, or with lower latency than output of the actual network application can be provided to the client device. The resulting user experience is that of instant or near-instant launch of the application, avoiding network delays communicating with the application server or processing delays from instantiation of virtual machines or other resources to provide the network application.
