Abstract: A TCP intermediate device receives a SYN packet from a TCP client that is destined for a TCP origin server and indicates support for TCP fast open (TFO). A SYN-ACK packet is transmitted to the TCP client that includes a first TFO cookie set by the TCP intermediate device. An ACK packet is received from the TCP client. A SYN packet is sent to the TCP origin server and a second SYN-ACK packet is received in response that includes a second TFO cookie set by the TCP origin server. An ACK packet to the TCP origin server. Sometime after the TCP connection is completed, a SYN packet from the TCP client is received that includes the first TFO cookie and a payload of data. The TCP intermediate device modifies the SYN packet to include the second TFO cookie and transmits the modified SYN packet to the TCP origin server.

Abstract: An edge server of a distributed edge compute and routing service receives a tunnel connection request from a tunnel client residing on an origin server, that requests a tunnel be established between the edge server and the tunnel client. The request identifies the hostname that is to be tunneled. An IP address is assigned for the tunnel. DNS record(s) are added or changed that associate the hostname with the assigned IP address. Routing rules are installed in the edge servers of the distributed edge compute and routing service to reach the edge server for the tunneled hostname. The edge server receives a request for a resource of the tunneled hostname from another edge server that received the request from a client, where the other edge server is not connected to the origin server. The request is transmitted from the edge server to the origin server over the tunnel.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for traffic optimization in virtual private networks (VPNs). A client device establishes a first VPN connection with a first server based on first VPN credentials. Traffic is transmitted and received through the first VPN connection to and from the first server. A second server is identified based on traffic optimization criteria that need to be satisfied by the VPN connection. Upon receipt of the identification of the second server the client device is to use the second server as a destination of a second VPN connection. The second VPN connection satisfies a set of traffic optimization goals for at least one flow from the flows forwarded through the first VPN connection. Based on the identification of the second server, the client device establishes the second VPN connection for the flow between the client device and the second server.
