Abstract
A computer program product includes instructions for causing a processor to: alert a client of the configuration of said computer program product; use a memory space for buffering the network application data destined for the client; release the network application data to the client, based on at least one occurrence of a specified condition that promotes energy savings; and purposely delay at least some of said data with an amount of time greater than zero to promote energy savings.

A computer program product embodied on a computer readable storage medium of a proxy server comprising instructions for causing a processor to:
- in a communication system comprising a server, a client, and the proxy server, split a transmission control protocol connection between the client and the server into two separate connections:
- a client-proxy connection and a proxy-server connection;
- alert a client of the proxy server of a configuration of said computer program product;
- use a memory space for buffering network application data destined for the client;
- release the network application data to the client, based on at least one occurrence of a specified condition that promotes energy savings;
- and
- delay the release of at least some of said data with an amount of time greater than zero to promote energy savings.
