Network protocol proxy

摘要

A network proxy can be provided as a layer between an application layer protocol (such as the Remote Desktop Protocol) and a transport layer protocol (such as TCP). The network proxy can intercept communications between the application layer protocol and the transport layer protocol. The network proxy can transmit communications on multiple connections, without the application layer or transport layer protocols being aware of the parallelization.

1. A method of managing a plurality of network connections, the method comprising:
by a computer system comprising computer hardware:
receiving a message from an application for transmission over a network;determining a characteristic of the application;selecting a number of parallel logical network connections to establish based at least partly on the application characteristic;establishing the parallel logical network connections to a remote host system;establishing a congestion control connection with the remote host system, wherein a network proxy implemented on a host system is configured to send test packets to a remote network proxy implemented on the remote host system;monitoring, by at least one of the network proxy and the remote network proxy, the congestion control connection to determine a level of congestion; andtransmitting the message over the parallel logical network connections to the remote host system.
