[e2e] TCP spoofing in overlay networks

[Jonathan Shapiro]

I recently had occaision to read a few papers about the practice of "TCP 
spoofing" over satellite links---i.e inserting a proxy prior to the 
satellite link to provide TCP feedback to the sender, effectively 
splitting into two TCP sessions connected in tandem. I was wondering if 
anyone had ever proposed a similar idea to improve TCP throughput in 
overlay networks over terestrial links.
