Data redirection system and method therefor

摘要

A data redirection system and method comprises a first and second redirector in one or more embodiments. The first redirector may receive and respond to requests for a network service by redirecting a client's request to the second redirector. The second redirector may receive and respond to the redirected request by sending a network address of a gateway. The gateway may provide an enhanced communication link with a network resource providing the network service. In this manner, communications used to provide the network service may be redirected to the enhanced communication link. The requests for a network service and responses to the requests will typically be communicated over a standard communication link.

1. A data redirection system comprising:
at least one front-end gateway communicatively linked to a server, the at least one front-end gateway supporting communications with said server via at least one enhanced communication link with said front-end gateway; and at least one redirector, said redirector configured to receive a redirection request from said server relative to a request from a client directed to a network address corresponding to said server via a second communication link to said server, said second communication link not including said at least one front-end gateway, said redirector configured, in response to said redirection request, to respond to said redirection request by redirecting said client to a network address of said at least one front-end gateway, whereby communications between said client and said server occur via said at least one enhanced communication link with said at least one front-end gateway rather than said second communication link.
