1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a first device, a first plurality of packets encapsulated with general packet radio service tunneling protocol (GTP) headers;
removing the GTP headers from the first plurality of packets to yield a plurality of corresponding packets without GTP headers;
applying one or more acceleration techniques to the plurality of corresponding packets without GTP headers to yield a plurality of accelerated packets without GTP headers; and
transmitting the plurality of accelerated packets without GTP headers to a second device in communication, via a communications link, with the first device,
wherein the plurality of accelerated packets without GTP headers include information for generating a second plurality of packets encapsulated with GTP headers at the second device.
