Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A transparent proxy device includes an ingress, an egress, and an application proxy. The ingress and the egress operate up to a layer four communication layer. The transparent proxy device is configured to establish spliced connections in relation to end devices. The spliced connections include layer four connections between the ingress and the application proxy and the application proxy and the egress. The transparent proxy device is configured to maintain an end-to-end connection in relation to the end devices even when the application proxy fails.

First claim
