Abstract: A connection manager manages a connection while plural applications issue connection requests and disconnection requests. In one such example, a data structure maintains a record of applications requesting a connection, and removes applications requesting disconnections. While at least one application remains in the record, the connection manager maintains the connection upon a disconnection request. In another example, a connection manager removes a terminated process from the record.

Abstract: A connection manager receives connection status indicators from a remote access service and invokes status threshold based responses. A received status indicator is received in response to a connection request. In another example, the status indicator is pushed to the connection manager. Status indicators are recorded in a status data structure. Status threshold based responses are identified in a status threshold response data structure. When a status indication count corresponds with a threshold value in a status threshold response data structure, a corresponding status threshold based response is invoked. A status data structure is sent to a remote server, and a new status data structure is received. In another example, a new status threshold response data structure is received. In another example, one or more new or updated status responses are received.
