`ABSTRACT
`( 57 )
`A system designed for increasing network communication
`speed for users , while lowering network congestion for
`content owners and ISPs . The system employs network
`elements including an acceleration server , clients , agents ,
`and peers , where communication requests generated by
`applications are intercepted by the client on the same
`machine . The IP address of the server in the communication
`request is transmitted to the acceleration server , which
`provides a list of agents to use for this IP address . The
`communication request is sent to the agents . One or more of
`the agents respond with a list of peers that have previously
`seen some or all of the content which is the response to this
`request ( after checking whether this data is still valid ) . The
`client then downloads the data from these peers in parts and
`in parallel , thereby speeding up the Web transfer , releasing
`congestion from the Web by fetching the information from
`multiple sources , and relieving traffic from Web servers by
`offloading the data transfers from them to nearby peers .
