I am looking to buy a router for my home network and I notice that companies
like Linksys offer some router with what they call "SpeedBooster"
technology. This technology is supposed to make the connection 35% faster or
something like that.

I would like to learn how this is done, is the speed really faster or is the
same except that they use some kind of proprietary compression algorithm? I
also read that there are other similar technologies.

Could some one explain to me how these "speed boost" is accomplished, any
links to web sits with info are highly appreciated.

Thank you.
