Relay Mode

In addition to accelerating access to specific web servers, HyperGate can be used to accelerate clients which may be located at the far end of an unreliable network path.  For example, clients accessing the Internet by way of a packet-radio, satellite, or GPRS cell-phone connections may benefit from using HyperGate across that link.

HyperGate^™ uses MTP/IP across a congested link, then relays standard HTTP to Internet web servers.

In this scenario, HGserver is placed on the Internet side of the congested uplink.  This allows it to relay traffic from the client to the rest of the Internet.  The client then runs HGclient using the Relay or -r option to identify HGserver's CPU.  Finally, the client web browser must be configured to treat HGclient as a proxy server.

In this way, all HTTP traffic will cross the congested link using the more efficient MTP/IP transport.  No additional document setup is needed and no additional HGserver's are needed.

For optimal effect, HGclient may be configured with information about the uplink.  For example MinRTT or -L can be used to identify the minimum round trip time (latency) of the link.
