TLDR
In this article, the first proxy device stores connection information in association with a connection identifier, which is used by the second proxy device to associate the direct connection with stored connection information.
Abstract
Proxy devices associate their direct connection with a client/server connection passing through one or more NAT devices. First proxy device receives a network connection request from a client. First proxy device stores connection information in association with a connection identifier. Connection information may reflect the usage of NAT devices between the two proxy devices. First proxy device sends a connection response including the connection identifier to the client. Second proxy device sends a direct connection request to first proxy device to establish a direct connection. Direct connection request includes the connection identifier, which is used by first proxy device to associate the direct connection with stored connection information. First proxy device may use the connection information to direct network traffic received via this direct connection to the correct destination and to divert network traffic from the server to the client through the direct connection and first and second proxy devices.
