This document is a survey of Performance Enhancing Proxies (PEPs) often employed to improve degraded TCP performance caused by characteristics of specific link environments, for example, in satellite, wireless WAN, and wireless LAN environments. Different types of Performance Enhancing Proxies are described as well as the mechanisms used to improve performance. Emphasis is put on proxies operating with TCP. In addition, motivations for their development and use are described along with some of the consequences of using them, especially in the context of the Internet.

- Is it still possible to extend TCP? (2011, background): “To improve performance [2, 7, 18, 3], reduce security exposure [15, 29], enhance control, and work around address space shortages [22], the Internet has experienced an invasion of middleboxes that do care about what the packets contain, and perform processing at layer 4 or higher within the network.”
- Space-Air-Ground Integrated Network: A Survey (2018, background): “NFV can be used to virtualize some functions in gateways, such as firewalling, PEP, network address translation, media transcoding, and so on [167].”
