SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ASSOCIATING MULTIPLE TRANSPORT LAYER HOPS BETWEEN CLIENTS AND SERVERS

摘要

The present disclosure is directed towards systems and methods for associating multiple transport layer hops between a client and a server. A first intermediary device may receive a request for a transport layer connection between the client and the server. The first intermediary device may generate a unique identifier to identify a connection chain between the client and the server across a plurality of transport layer connections via the plurality of devices. The first intermediary device may set a hop count to a number of hops that the first device is between the client and the server. The first intermediary device may forward information about the unique identifier and the hop count to a next device of the plurality of devices.

1. A method for associating multiple transport layer hops between a client and a server, the method comprising:
(a) receiving, by a first device of a plurality of devices intermediary to a client and a server, a request for a transport layer connection between the client and the server; (b) generating, by the first device, a unique identifier to identify a connection chain between the client and the server across a plurality of transport layer connections via the plurality of devices; (c) setting, by the first device, a hop count to a number of hops that the first device is between the client and the server; and (d) forwarding, by the first device, information about the unique identifier and the hop count to a next device of the plurality of devices.
