Abstract
A system for optimizing network traffic is described. The system includes a plurality of appliances. An appliance comprises one or more network interfaces and a secure session connection optimizer module. The one or more network interfaces are configured to facilitate secure communications between a client device and a server, wherein the secure communications involve a plurality of secure session connections comprising a first secure session connection between the client device and the appliance and a second secure session connection between the appliance and another appliance. The secure session connection optimizer module is configured to receive a secure session connection request from the client device, determine, using information from the secure session connection request, whether a lookup table includes information that client authentication is required by the server, if the information indicates that client authentication is not required by the server, provide an instruction to the other appliance, and if the information indicates that client authentication is required by the server, provide the secure connection request to the other appliance over the second secure connection.
