Optimized point-to-point communications system and method

A method for optimizing point-to-point communication frameworks, the method comprising:

• providing a processor device that is operatively communicative within a communication network having at least a first point and a second point, in bi-directional communication with the first point, and in bi-directional communication with a gateway, the gateway between the processor device and the second point;
• receiving by the processor device a first data packet from the first point;
• transmitting by the processor device said first data packet to the gateway;
• receiving by the processor device from the gateway a confirmation of receipt of the first data packet;
• generating by the processor device a predictive acknowledgment while the first data packet continues to the second point;
• and
• transmitting by the processor device of the predictive acknowledgment to the first point thereby triggering the release of any next data packet to the processor device in time to overlap with an incoming uplink acknowledgement of said first data packet,
• whereby the method utilizes reliable predictive acknowledgements within the bi-directional communication network in order to improve the performance of the point-to-point communication framework.
