    Abstract: A computing system may include point of presence (PoP) servers coupled to a wide area network (WAN) and configured to receive client requests for a Software as a service (SaaS) application(s) from different network branches coupled to the WAN, and connect the network branches with a given SaaS host server from among different SaaS host servers coupled to the WAN and providing the SaaS application(s). The system may also include a PoP selection controller (PSC) coupled to the WAN and cooperating with the PoP servers to determine first network health metrics for connections between the PoP servers and the network branches, determine second network health metrics for connections between the PoP servers and the SaaS host servers, and select a respective PoP server for each network branch to be connected with for providing the SaaS application(s) based upon the first and second network health metrics.

    Abstract: Embodiments described include systems and methods for management and pre-establishment of network application and secure communication sessions. Session logs may be analyzed to identify an application or secure communication sessions likely to be accessed, and prior to receiving a request to establish the session, an intermediary (e.g. another device such as an intermediary appliance or other device, or an intermediary agent on a client such as a client application) may pre-establish the session, performing any necessary handshaking or credential or key exchange processes. When the session is subsequently requested (e.g. in response to a user request), the system may immediately begin using the pre-established session. This pre-establishment may be coordinated within the enterprise providing load balancing and scheduling of session establishment to prevent large processing loads at any one point in time.

    Abstract: Described embodiments provide systems and apparatuses for enhanced quality of service, steering and policy enforcement for https traffic via intelligent in-line path discovery of a TLS terminating node. The system may include a first network device having a secure connection traversing through the first network device, and in communication with a second network device. The first network device and the second network device may be intermediary to a client device and a server. The first network device may determine that the second network device terminates the secure connection. The first network device may receive key generation information of the secure connection from the second network device following determining the second network device terminates the secure connection. The first network device may decipher packet(s) of the secure connection destined for the device or the server using the received key generation information, to regulate network traffic of the secure connection at the first network device.
