Protocol switching and secure sockets layer (ssl) cross-wiring to enable inter-network resource connectivity

Abstract

Aspects of protocol switching and cross-wiring to enable inter-network connectivity are described. For example, a transporter system including a transporter server and a transporter client can securely connect applications to resources in differing networked environments (e.g., clouds and/or data centers). The transporter client may establish data channels as secure socket layer (SSL) connections (e.g., Secure Websockets (WSS)) between a resource in one networked environment and a transporter server that is in communication via a proxy channel with an initiator device in another networked environment. Upon completing the build of a data path between the initiator device and the resource, the handling protocol of the data channels that are established as SSL connections can be modified to a basic socket-level channel (e.g., transmission control protocol, user datagram protocol, etc.) to permit socket-level data stream communications without restrictions.
