System and method for avoiding proxy connection latency

摘要

Proxy server can have an existing connection to a remote server and does not need to wait for initial connection acknowledgement before notifying the client. When the client requests to use a remote service, the proxy server will acknowledge the request immediately to the client so that the initial request and associated data to be sent to the remote server is ready to be transmitted. The proxy server can assign a sub-channel identifier not currently in use and transmit a combination of instructions in a single data packet that indicates what service should be connected to on the remote proxy server and the initial data to transmit to the remote server. In this manner the round trip is avoided in establishing the initial connection to the remote server vastly reducing the amount of time before the client receives a response from the remote server.
