Abstract
An agent deployed within a private network creates on-demand connections to an intermediary node outside the private network. When a client contacts the intermediary node for an application or more generally any service available from within the private network, the intermediary node signals the agent to create the on-demand connection outbound to the intermediary. The agent may include advance information in the signal that accelerates the establishment of the on-demand connection and/or transmission of responsive data to the client.
