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.
