Dynamic network link acceleration for network including wireless communication devices

A client communication device capable of wireless communications comprising:

• one or more processors;
• one or more storage devices;
• at least one electronic display configured to present information to a user of said device;
• a wireless communication interface;
• said client communication device having a base configuration in which said client communication device is configured to generate one or more data packets of a first type for transmission via said wireless communication interface;
• and
• a front-end mechanism stored on the one or more storage devices and executable by the one or more processors to selectively encode data from the one or more data packets of said first type into one or more encoded packets of an enhanced type and provide a managed communication link for data traffic comprising said packets of said enhanced type between the wireless communication interface and a back-end mechanism remote from said client communication device.
