  • System and method for real-time bidirectional communication through firewalls
    Patent number: 8230091
    Abstract: A system and method for real-time data transmission through data communication networks are disclosed. The system and the method allow for real time communication between applications located in different internal networks protected by firewalls by means of representing the applications by proxies and establishing TCP channels towards an intermediate proxy server localized outside the firewalls. A set of parameters residing in the server determines i.a. the number of required TCP channels based on the ratio of measured bandwidth between the data flow directions.
    Type: Grant

  • Real-time proxies
    Publication number: 20050108411
    Abstract: An arrangement for real-time data transmission through data communication networks is disclosed. The arrangement allows for real-time communication between applications located in different internal networks protected by firewalls by means of representing the applications by proxies and establishing TCP channels towards an intermediate proxy server localized outside the firewalls. A set of parameters residing in the server determines i.a. the number of required TCP channels based on the ratio of measured bandwidth between the data flow directions.
