Abstract
Techniques for using a secure access gateway to signal compute and/or network prioritization to individual streams within multiplexed sessions for zero-trust network access (ZTNA). A secure access gateway may be configured to identify weighting data and/or prioritization data associated with individual streams within the multiplexed session comprising various protocols (e.g., HTTP/2 and/or HTTP/3) and determine a gateway priority value. That is, the secure access gateway may be configured to prioritize certain types of traffic (user roles, resource types, etc.) over others, regardless of the protocol employed by the individual stream. The secure access gateway may then prioritize the processing (e.g., networking and/or computational resources) of a first stream having a more favorable gateway priority value than a second stream. Additionally, the secure access gateway may be configured to transmit indications of the gateway priority value to a target resource, such that the streams may be prioritized in the reverse direction.
