Interworking between IP security and performance enhancing proxiesfor mobile networks.

This article proposes the interworking between performance enhancing proxies (PEPs) and IPsec in mobile networks. The low-throughput problem due to TCP/IP in a radio access network is illustrated. Performance comparison among different PEPs implemented in the RAN is carried out in order to optimize...
