Abstract: An example method may include receiving upload packets, at an interconnect server center (ISC) device from a virtual private network (VPN) client device, and the upload packets may include a header identifying the (ISC) device and a destination server as destination fields, transmitting, via the ISC device, tests packets along a plurality of different Internet pathways to identify network characteristics of the Internet pathways, determining an amount of time until one or more responses to the test packets are received, and forwarding the upload packets to a VPN server for routing to the destination server via an Internet pathway selected based on the amount of time associated with the received test packets.

Abstract: One example may include receiving a data session request at a VPN server from a client device to establish a data session to receive data from a remote server, determining whether the data session request should be routed to one or more available proxy devices based on one or more of known attributes of the remote server and a data session requirement associated with the data session, selecting by the VPN server, one or more proxy devices to forward the data request to the remote server, and the one or more proxy devices are selected based on one or more data session requirements associated with the data session and receiving, at the VPN server, the data from the remote server by the one or more proxy devices, and forwarding, via the VPN server, the data to the client device.

Abstract: An example method may include identifying upload packets at a VPN client operating on a client device, and the upload packets include a header with a destination server as the destination field and the client device as the source field, adding, via the VPN client, an additional header identifying the client device in an additional source field and identifying an interconnect server center (ISC) device in an additional destination field, to create modified upload packets, receiving the modified upload packets from the client device at the ISC device, replacing, via the ISC device, the additional source field of the modified upload packets with a new additional source field identifying the ISC device and replacing the additional destination field of the modified upload packets with a new additional destination field identifying a VPN server to create further modified upload packets, and forwarding the further modified upload packets to the VPN server for routing to the destination server.

Abstract: One example method of operation may include determining whether a data request initiated by a client device to obtain data from a remote server should be forwarded by a virtual private network (VPN) server or outside of the VPN server, forwarding, via the client device, a data fetch outside of the virtual private network (VPN) server in communication with the client device, to obtain the data from the remote server, and the remote server is identified on a list identifying servers requiring non-VPN communications, receiving the data from the remote server, via the client device, outside of the VPN server, forwarding, via the client device, a request for additional data to the VPN server, and receiving the additional data from the VPN server at the client device.

Abstract: A VPN is established between a client and a remote server. Data is partitioned into a plurality of packets. The packets are encrypted and scheduled for transmission over a cellular and a Wi-Fi connection. Scheduling of the packets is dynamically adjusted. Addresses of the encrypted packets are translated to match network addresses of respective physical interfaces. Packets are transmitted from the client to the server based on the scheduling. A packet that is transmitted on one of the connections and is subsequently lost is subsequently transmitted on the other connection.

Abstract: One example may include a process that includes establishing a first transmission control protocol (TCP) connection between a client device and a server to form a virtual private network (VPN), permitting communication between the client device and the server on the first TCP connection, monitoring communication over the first TCP connection to identify one or more connection parameters, and establishing a second TCP connection between the client device and the server when the one or more connection parameters indicate a slowing of the first TCP connection below a threshold and below a previously measured connection rate.

Abstract: One example method of operation may include transmitting a data stream from a first device to a second device via one or more channels, determining the data stream experienced a potential network communication error, and retransmitting at least a portion of the data stream over a mirrored channel transmission comprising at least two streams which both retransmit in parallel at least a same portion of the retransmitted portion of the data stream.

Abstract: An example method may include determining a transmission rate for streaming session data packets, prioritizing a first plurality of data packets identified as the streaming session data packets, to be delivered to a client device prior to a second plurality of data packets, identified as non-streaming session data packets, measuring a transmission rate of data streamed to the client device, performing connection bonding using two or more connections when the measured transmission rate is below the transmission rate, increasing the transmission rate of the first plurality of packets to a faster transmission rate on the bonded connections for a period of time, and reducing the transmission rate of one of the two or more connections when a packet loss rate is below a threshold packet loss rate.

Abstract: One example process may include determining, via a virtual private network (VPN) server, one or more client devices are currently content sharing during a conference including a plurality of active client devices, monitoring, via the VPN server, communication session parameters of one or more of the client devices which are forwarding the shared content to the VPN server, and the shared content is destined for one or more of the other client devices, modifying, via the VPN server, one or more of the communication session parameters of the one or more client devices which are forwarding the shared content to the VPN server, and determining whether the modified one or more communication session parameters have increased a performance of the one or more other client devices.

Abstract: An example method of operation may include exchanging data between a client device and a server at a first transmission rate via at least one of a first channel and a second channel, monitoring an amount of data exchanged, comparing the amount of data exchanged to a first data amount threshold and a second data amount threshold for at least one time period, partially limiting subsequent transfers of data between the client device and the server when the first data amount threshold is reached in the at least one time period, and further partially limiting the subsequent transfers of data or ending transfer of data between the client device and the server when the second data amount threshold is reached in the at least one time period.
