Providing cellular-specific transport layer service by way of cell-site proxying in a network environment

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• receiving an uplink transport layer packet associated with a user session between a first user equipment and a remote server, wherein a first transport layer session is established between the first user equipment and a first transport layer proxy located within an access network, wherein a second transport layer session is established between the first transport layer proxy and the remote server, wherein the uplink transport layer packet is received by a second transport layer proxy located within the access network from the first user equipment, the user session having associated session state parameters;
• and
• upon determining, by operation of one or more computer processors, that the session state parameters associated with the user session are not known to the second transport layer proxy, requesting, by the second transport layer proxy, the session state parameters from a transport layer function manager within a core network, whereupon the transport layer function manager is configured to request the session state parameters from the first transport layer proxy and send the session state parameters to the second transport layer proxy.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing a program executable to perform an operation comprising:

• receiving an uplink transport layer packet associated with a user session between a first user equipment and a remote server, wherein a first transport layer session is established between the first user equipment and a first transport layer proxy located within an access network, wherein a second transport layer session is established between the first transport layer proxy and the remote server, wherein the uplink transport layer packet is received by a second transport layer proxy located within the access network from the first user equipment, the user session having associated session state parameters;
• and
• upon determining, by operation of one or more computer processors when executing the program, that the session state parameters associated with the user session are not known to the second transport layer proxy, requesting, by the second transport layer proxy, the session state parameters from a transport layer function manager within a core network, whereupon the transport layer function manager is configured to request the session state parameters from the first transport layer proxy and send the session state parameters to the second transport layer proxy.
