A Multi-homed VPN Architecture Based on Extended SOCKS＋TLS Protocols
张宝良, 胡汉平, Xiang Chen · 上海交通大学学报：英文版 · 2005
A multi-homed VPN architecture based on extended SOCKSv5 and TLS was proposed. The architecture employs a dynamic connection mechanism for multiple proxies in the end system,in which the security-demanded transmission connections can switch smoothly among the multiple proxies by maintaining a coherent connection context. The mechanism is transparent to application programs and can support the building of VPN. With the cooperation of some other security components,the mechanism guarantees the resource availability and reliability of the end system against some attacks to the specific ports or hosts.
