Abstract
In one embodiment, a cloud connection appliance features a processor and a non-transitory storage medium. The non-transitory storage medium comprises management control logic, that when executed by the processor, controls registration with a controller adapted to control data traffic between gateway instance and to establish a communication path including a reverse tunnel with the controller. The controller and cloud connection appliance operate in a client-server relationship with the cloud connection appliance operates as a client when establishing the communication path and operates as a server when receiving control information through the reverse tunnel. The reverse tunnel enables the cloud connection appliance to directly receive the control information from the controller despite the cloud connection application lacking a publicly routable Internet Protocol (IP) address.
