Disclosed are methods and apparatus for handling requests for data from a private network. In general terms, a client who wishes access to secure data, such as a secure web page, from a private network establishes a secure connection with a secure server, such as a secure socket layer (SSL) server, of the private network. The secure server then downloads a software program for handling data requests (made by the client for data located within the private network) to the client. This software program is downloaded automatically by the secure server to the client when the client initiates a secure connection with such secure server. The downloaded software program is generally configured to modify data requests (e.g., by performing a URL substitution) sent from the client to an internal server of the private network such that the data requests are redirected to the secure server. The secure server then processes the data request (e.g., by retrieving the data from the appropriate internal server).

Disclosed are methods and apparatus for handling data containing embedded addresses. In general terms, prior to transmission of data having an embedded address or port, an initiating host sends a NAT Probe to an end-host with which the initiating host wishes to communicate. The NAT Probe includes the embedded address or port and a type indicating that translation of the address and/or port is requested if needed. As the NAT Probe traverses through one or more NAT devices as it is transmitted to the end-host, each NAT device is enabled to recognize the NAT Probe type and translate the embedded address and/or port, depending upon the individual NAT device's configuration. When the NAT Probe reaches the final hop NAT device or end-host, a NAT Probe Reply is sent back to the initiating host. The NAT Probe Reply contains a translated embedded address and/or port which is compatible with the end-host's network. The NAT Probe Reply also contains a type which differs from the type of the NAT Probe. As the NAT Probe Reply traverses back through the same NAT devices, the NAT device recognize the type of the NAT Probe Reply and do not translate the embedded address and/or port.

The NAT Probe Reply contains a translated embedded address and/or port which is compatible with the end-host's network. The NAT Probe Reply also contains a type which differs from the type of the NAT Probe. As the NAT Probe Reply traverses back through the same NAT devices, the NAT device recognize the type of the NAT Probe Reply and do not translate the embedded address and/or port. The initiating host may then use the translated embedded address and/or port for subsequent communication with the end-host. That is, the initiating host sends data having the translated embedded address and/or port to the end-host. Since the translated address and/port is compatible with the end-host's network, the NAT devices through which the data passes do not have to inspect the payload of the data to handle or translate the embedded address and/or port.

Methods and apparatuses for distributing network address translation. By having a gateway inform inside devices of global addresses, the gateway can avoid performing many functions of a traditional NAT box. Specifically, an inside device is informed of a global address shared by all devices on the inside device's network segment. Each device on that segment would be assigned a range of ports to distinguish messages from separate devices that use the same global address.

A method of preventing network denial of service attacks by early discard of out-of-order segments comprises creating a reassembly queue for a connection between a first network node and a second network node, wherein the connection has been established based on a transport-layer network protocol, the reassembly queue having a size based on a buffer size of an input interface with which the connection is associated. As out-of-order data segments arrive on the connection, and before other processing of the segments, whether the reassembly queue is full is determined, and the out-of-order segments are discarded if the reassembly queue is full. The size of the reassembly queue is automatically changed in response to one or more changes in any of network conditions and device resources.

Techniques are provided to facilitate faster live migration of a virtual server from one physical server to another physical server by pausing TO activity of the virtual server and slowing memory state changes for CPU-bound activity of the virtual server during the live migration.
摘要:
Approaches to recover from faults associated with multi-homed clients having transport protocol connections that pass through network address translators are disclosed. In one approach, context information for a connection, between a first host and a second host, referencing one of several multi-homed network addresses of the first host, is automatically re-used when the second host switches to a different address of the first host, for example, when the first host becomes unavailable at the original address. Embodiments support seamless switchover of SCTP connections over NAT devices.
