Communication customization has been widely used and provedhaving benefits in mobile computing. However, most systems aredesigned for specific purposes. They may have weaknesses incompatibility and portability, and incur unnecessary overheads incertain situations. Besides, they may be not flexible as a genericsystem because of requiring particular software facilities or hardwaredevices. In the paper, we propose TOP, a generic proxy-basedsystem for communication customization in mobile computing. TOP utilizes API hook and packet redirection technologies to provideobjects with the service of packet manipulations. Rather than beinglimited Java Applet, the objects on TOP are Java Application capableof accessing various Java libraries. Communication customizationon TOP can fully change an existing protocol's semantics withoutmodifying application programs. We implement TOP on Windows2000/XP and the experiments show that the performance of TOPis acceptable. Besides, we use TOP to overcome TCP disconnectionhazards over wireless LAN as an example of applications on it.
