    on small transfers, don't hold your breath.

    On large transfers, it sounds like it spoofs TCP sessions, much like our
    TCP Intercept or Packeteer's rate-shaping technology does. Without complete
    knowledge, I'll bet it terminates the TCP session at each end of the
    satellite link, moves the file across as rapidly as possible, and uses TCP
    to deliver the file to the link and from the link to the destination. If
    you want a primer, I'l tell you how I would build such.
