Abstract

System and method for setting up a data communication are disclosed. Method includes facilitating authenticating a module of a client computing device for the data communication. Method includes facilitating authenticating a module of a server for the data communication. Method includes authenticating an encoding for a network-based procedure call interface for the server. Method includes binding the network-based procedure call interface to a protocol for a gateway interface of the server. Method includes facilitating verifying that a message size of a message transmitted to a module of the client computing device or to a module of the server is within a message size range. Method includes facilitating creating a tunnel to a module of the server, wherein the tunnel is for the data communication. Method includes facilitating creating a channel within the tunnel, wherein the channel is for the data communication.

Claims (47)

1. A computer-implemented method for setting up a data communication, the method comprising:

facilitating authenticating a module of a client computing device for the data communication;

facilitating authenticating a module of a server for the data communication;

authenticating an encoding of a message from the client computing device for a network-based procedure call interface for the server;

binding the network-based procedure call interface to a protocol for a gateway interface of the server with respect to a message format translation;

facilitating creating a tunnel to a module of the server, wherein the tunnel is for the data communication;

facilitating verifying that a message size of a message transmitted to a module of the client computing device or to a module of the server is within a message size range associated with said tunnel; and

facilitating creating a channel within the tunnel, wherein the channel is for the data communication between the client computing device and the server.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein facilitating authenticating the module of the client computing device for the data communication comprises:

facilitating authenticating the module of the client computing device by verifying an Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with the module of the client computing device via network layer authentication.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein an operating system of the server is incompatible with an operating system of the client computing device.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein facilitating authenticating the module of the client computing device comprises:

verifying one or more credentials of the module of the client computing device.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein facilitating authenticating the module of the server comprises:

verifying one or more credentials of the module of the server.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method is implemented within a router, the router being configured to establish a port forward or a virtual private network through the gateway interface.

7. A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising instructions stored therein, the instructions executable by one or more processors to perform one or more operations, the instructions comprising:

code for causing the one or more processors to facilitate authenticating a module of a client computing device for a data communication;

code for causing the one or more processors to facilitate authenticating a module of a server for the data communication;

code for causing the one or more processors to authenticate an encoding of a message from the client computing device for a network-based procedure call interface for the server;

code for causing the one or more processors to bind the network-based procedure call interface to a protocol for a gateway interface of the server with respect to a message format translation;

code for causing the one or more processors to facilitate creating a tunnel to a module of the server, wherein the tunnel is for the data communication;

code for causing the one or more processors to facilitate verifying that a message size of a message transmitted to a module of the client computing device or to a module of the server is within a message size range associated with said tunnel; and

code for causing the one or more processors to facilitate creating a channel within the tunnel, wherein the channel is for the data communication between the client computing device and the server.

8. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the code for causing the one or more processors to facilitate authenticating the module of the client computing device for the data communication comprises:

code for causing the one or more processors to facilitate authenticating the module of the client computing device by verifying an Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with the module of the client computing device via network layer authentication.

9. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein an operating system of the server is incompatible with an operating system of the client computing device.

10. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the code for causing the one or more processors to facilitate authenticating the module of the client computing device comprises:

code for causing the one or more processors to verify one or more credentials of the module of the client computing device.

11. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the code for causing the one or more processors to facilitate authenticating the module of the server comprises:

code for causing the one or more processors to verify one or more credentials of the module of the server.

12. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the network-based procedure call interface comprises a remote procedure call.

13. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the gateway interface comprises a terminal services gateway.

14. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the one or more processors reside on the client computing device.

15. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the one or more processors reside on the server.

16. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the one or more processors reside on a first machine, and wherein the first machine is different from the client computing device and different from the server.

17. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the one or more processors reside within a router, the router being configured to establish a port forward or a virtual private network through the gateway interface.

18. An apparatus comprising:

one or more processors;

a memory coupled to the processors;

one or more modules configured to facilitate authenticating a module of a client computing device for a data communication;

one or more modules configured to facilitate authenticating a module of a server for the data communication;

one or more modules configured to authenticate an encoding of a message from the client computing device for a network-based procedure call interface for the server;

one or more modules configured to bind the network-based procedure call interface to a protocol for a gateway interface of the server with respect to a message format translation;

one or more modules configured to facilitate creating a tunnel to a module of the server, wherein the tunnel is for the data communication;

one or more modules configured to facilitate verifying that a message size of a message transmitted to a module of the client computing device or to a module of the server is within a message size range associated with said tunnel; and

one or more modules configured to facilitate creating a channel within the tunnel, wherein the channel is for the data communication between the client computing device and the server.
