A method and apparatus for dynamic network link acceleration provides a managed communication link for accelerated and reliable network communication between a client and other network devices on demand. In one or more embodiments, the system comprises an enhanced client capable of providing front-end services. The enhanced client may establish the communication link with a back-end mechanism. The communication link may provide error correction, security, quality of service, and other services including acceleration of communications. In one embodiment, the enhanced client provides a communication link utilizing the TMP protocol by cooperative action with a back-end mechanism. A client may be various computing or network devices and may be enhanced with front-end services automatically by automatic download and installation of an internal front-end or manually by user installation of an internal front-end. In one or more embodiments, the front-end services software utilizes hardware of an enhanced client to provide the communication link.
