Method and apparatus for a client connection manager

1. A method comprising:

first, transitioning a client's connection from an active state to an inactive-idle state;

closing an application's socket when the client connection is transitioned to the inactive-idle state;

transitioning the client connection to an inactive table when the client connection is transitioned to the inactive-idle state;

freeing buffers associated with the transitioned client connection when the client connection is transitioned to the inactive-idle state;

killing any threads associated with the transitioned client connection when the client connection is transitioned to the inactive-idle state;

maintaining a persistent connection with the client when the client connection is transitioned to the inactive-idle state;

opening a socket to the client in response to a connection request from the application; and

mapping the connection request to the maintained persistent connection with the client in response to the connection request from the application; and

wherein any connection state data associated with said application's socket transitioning to an inactive state is moved to a non-transitory secondary storage.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein mapping the connection request to the maintained persistent connection with the client further comprises transitioning the client to an active state.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

receiving client data; and

simulating a connection request to an application.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein said non-transitory secondary storage is a disk storage.

5. The method of claim 4 wherein the connection state data is active connection data.

6. The method of claim 4 wherein the connection state data is inactive connection data.

7. The method of claim 4 wherein the connection state data is transition from active to inactive connection data.

8. The method of claim 4 wherein the connection state data is transition from inactive to active connection data.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein said non-transitory secondary storage is a database storage.

10. The method of claim 1 wherein said non-transitory secondary storage is a flash storage.

11. The method of claim 1 wherein said non-transitory secondary storage is a virtual memory storage.

12. The method of claim 1 wherein said non-transitory secondary storage is a holographic storage.

13. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

receiving at a connection manager a transmission control protocol data segment from the client, the transmission control protocol data segment destined for a server;

scanning an active connection table;

determining if there is an active connection from the client to the server;

checking if there is connection data when there is not the active connection from the client to the server; and

sending a response when there is not the connection data.

14. The method of claim 13 further comprising:

forwarding the transmission control protocol data segment to the server when there is the active connection.

15. The method of claim 13 further comprising:

scanning an inactive connection table when there is the connection data.

16. The method of claim 15 further comprising:

determining if the connection is in standby; and

activating the standby connection when the connection is in standby.

17. The method of claim 16 further comprising:

forwarding the transmission control protocol data segment to the server when the connection is in standby; and

resetting a timestamp when the connection is in standby.

18. The method of claim 15 further comprising:

determining if the connection is in standby; and

determining if the connection is idle when the connection is not in standby.

19. The method of claim 18 further comprising:

activating the idle connection when the connection is not in standby.

20. The method of claim 19 further comprising:

forwarding the transmission control protocol data segment to the server when the connection is not in standby; and

resetting a timestamp when the connection is not in standby.
