Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, network traffic management apparatuses, and network traffic management systems that utilize a reverse tunnel proxy in a cloud environment. The reverse tunnel proxy in a cloud environment automatically discovers its environment and creates an appropriate tunnel without using a public IP. The reverse tunnel proxy in a cloud environment utilizes an outgoing connection along with an initialization and channelization to connect to the cloud and accepts an incoming connection in response. In embodiments, a cloud initiates a connection and a tunnel is created without need for additional IP addresses. In embodiments, the reverse tunnel proxy in a cloud environment connects to a client as a server and a private key is stored at a server side without pushing private keys into a public environment.

Methods and devices for service-discovering reverse-tunnel proxy and tunnel service center

A method, computer readable medium, system and apparatus that acquires data link timing includes sequentially introducing a delay and sampling data on a link after each sequentially introduced delay. A starting edge of a valid data eye and a trailing edge of the valid data eye during the sequentially introducing the delay and the sampling of the data is determined. The sequentially introduced delay when the starting edge of the valid data eye is detected and a subsequently introduced delay when the trailing edge of the valid data eye is detected are recorded. A bit sampling time that provides the timing for the sampling of data in the valid data eye between the sequentially introduced delay and the subsequently introduced delay is determined. By way of example, an optimum bit sampling time is determined as a mean from the transition of the starting edge of the valid data eye to the trailing edge of the valid data eye. The bit sampling time for the sampling of data is applied and the link is established.
