Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable medium are disclosed for load balancing network traffic. Load balancing network traffic includes receiving at a particular server among a plurality of candidate servers, one of a plurality of probes sent from a client device to the plurality of candidate servers; interpreting, at the particular server, the received probe to recognize that the received probe is a precursor to a persistent connection between the particular server and the client device; determining that a prospective connection between the particular server and the client device would be sub-optimal; and transmitting a biased response from the particular server to the client device to discourage establishment of the persistent connection between the client device and the particular server.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable medium are disclosed for altering network connections during maintenance periods. Altering network connections during maintenance periods includes monitoring via a cloud service, a network of distributed servers and client devices, the monitoring including maintaining records of software upgrade schedules for the servers and existing tunnels between the client devices and the servers; receiving at the cloud service a request to upgrade software on a particular server; in response to the request, scheduling the software upgrade; accessing the records to identify an existing tunnel between a client device and the particular server; prior to the scheduled upgrade, accessing the records to identify an alternative server to which existing tunnel traffic can be directed during the upgrade; and following identification and prior to the scheduled upgrade, rerouting network traffic flow from the client to the alternative server to thereby avoid a communication blip.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable medium are disclosed for real-time dynamic policy revisions.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for facilitating network synchronization within a network comprising multiple distributed server clusters connected to various edge devices. The synchronization process involves maintaining multiple copies of a routing table, which are distributed across the locations of the server clusters and edge devices. When a connectivity change occurs and is detected by at least one server in the distributed server clusters, this change is represented as a delta in the routing table. The delta is then distributed across the server clusters and edge devices to update and synchronize all copies of the routing table, ensuring consistency across the network.

Abstract: Techniques related to virtual encryption patching are described. A security gateway includes multiple Transport Layer Security Implementations (TLSI) that can be used for creating secure communications channels to carry application-layer traffic between one or more clients and one or more server applications. In some embodiments, upon determining that one of the multiple TLSIs contains a security vulnerability, that TLSI can be disabled, leaving one or more others of the multiple TLSIs enabled and available to be used to carry traffic of new connections between the clients and server applications.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a transparent security gateway is coupled between a client end station (CES) and a web application server (WAS). The security gateway monitors an encryption protocol handshake between the CES and the WAS to capture, using a provided private key of the WAS, a generated symmetric key to be used for an encryption layer connection. Using the captured symmetric key, the security gateway receives an encrypted connection record of the encryption layer connection, decrypts the encrypted connection record to yield a plaintext connection record, modifies the plaintext connection record, encrypts the modified plaintext connection record using the symmetric key, and transmits one or more packets carrying the encrypted modification plaintext connection record instead of the received encrypted connection record such that neither the CES or WAS is aware of the modification of the encrypted data.
