Abstract:
In one implementation, an endpoint or client device sends a control message into a network to control how a subsequent flow from the endpoint is handled by one or more nodes in the network. A node in the network receives the control message including an encapsulated command and a counter value and modifies the counter value. The node compares the modified counter value to a predetermined limit. When the modified counter value is equal to the predetermined limit, the control message is designated for execution of the encapsulated command. When the modified counter value exceeds the predetermined limit, the control message is forwarded to a subsequent node.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, A tracker computer receives from a first device in a peer-to-peer network that the first device has content for serving. A content request for the content is received from a second device in the peer-to-peer network. The tracker computer routes the content from the first device to the second device through a server. The content routed through the server is inspected for malicious code.
Abstract:
In one implementation, downloading of streaming content using a security as a service (SecaaS) system is more efficient because portions of the streaming content may not be inspected by the SecaaS. A first request to download content from a content provider is received, and a connection is initiated with a security provider, which inspects the first chunk of the content and generates a routing instruction based on the inspection of the first chunk of content. Based on the routing instructions and the inspection of the first chunk, a request for a second chunk of the streaming content is addressed to the content provider. The second chunk of the streaming content, circumvents the SecaaS system.

Abstract:
In one implementation, two or more endpoints or client devices communication uses a peer-to-peer, browser based, real time communication protocol. One example of such a protocol is Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC). An intermediary device receives from a first endpoint, a request for communication with a second endpoint, using the browser based real time communication. The intermediary device identifies a control protocol based on the request for communication, and receives one or more write keys from the first endpoint. The intermediary device monitors communication between the first endpoint and the second endpoint using the one or more write keys. Examples for the intermediary devices include servers, firewalls, and other network devices.

Abstract:
In one implementation, traffic in a mobile network is directed across multiple paths to a single cloud server or security server (e.g., a security as a service). The mobile device detects a cloud connector through a primary connection based on an attachment or connection via a first interface of a mobile device. The mobile device sends a request to the cloud connector for an identification of a cloud security server associated with the cloud connector. After receiving the identification of the cloud security server, the mobile device directs one or more subsequent data flows or subflows for a second interface or another interface of the mobile device to the cloud server or security server. The second data flow and the second interface are associated with another network that is external to the enterprise network and trusted network connection or not associated with the enterprise network and the trusted network connection.
