What is Application Acceleration?

Application acceleration is the use of IP networking techniques to enhance the performance and response times of applications running on an IP network (LAN or WAN). Application acceleration includes low-level TCP offload and HTTP multiplexing, load balancing, computer offloading, content caching, or server load balancing. Other techniques to deliver application acceleration include Layer 4-7 redirection, protocol optimization, NAT (network address translation), TCP buffering, connection reuse, HTTP pipelining, compression, and SSL offloading.
