摘要 |
Embodiments of this invention provide a system that creates a control channel (415) to enable out-of-band signaling for TCP connection establishment between two TCP endpoints (401), (402). In embodiments of this invention, the control channel (415) used for the out-of-band signaling traffic between the TCP endpoints (or peers) is achieved using a system that consists of a signaling broker (418), an agent application (407), and a virtual network interface and capture module (408) that together create control channel (415) for the TCP signaling traffic. Embodiments of this invention include a protocol to execute out-of-band signaling for TCP. |
