Method for transparently connecting augmented network socket operations

摘要

A method at one or more computers having memory and one or more processors includes detecting establishment of a connection between a first process and a second process; determining whether an augmented communications service is available for the connection between the first process and second process; in accordance with a determination that the augmented communications service is available, configuring the connection between the first process and the second process to make use of the augmented communications service with no modification to the executable codes of the first process and the second process; and in accordance with a determination that the augmented communications service is not available, configuring the connection between the first process and the second process to make use of a non-augmented communications service.

1. A method, comprising:
at a computing system having memory and one or more processors: generating a nonce associated with a port of the computing system; receiving a connection request for the port from a particular computer, the connection request corresponding to a first process; in response to receiving the connection request for the port, establishing a connection with the first process by sending both an acceptance and the nonce to the particular computer; receiving data from the first process via the connection; determining whether the received data includes the nonce; in accordance with a determination that the received data includes the nonce, configuring the connection to make use of an augmented communications service with no modification to executable code of the first process; and in accordance with a determination that the received data does not include the nonce, configuring the connection to make use of a non-augmented communications service.
