Hi, I’m Thomas. Welcome to the lightboard session on application optimization. Application optimization is based on TCP optimization. When a client establishes a connection to a server, we intercept that session and establish a new session between the Open Systems edge devices. The edge device then establishes the session to the server.

Since we control the TCP connection between the two edge devices, we can ensure the use of a TCP algorithm that is designed to provide optimal performance, even in cases where the line suffers from packet loss or high latency. By optimizing at the TCP level, we can also provide optimization for your encrypted applications, where other optimization options may not be available.
